Original – Juanita Hall as Bloody Mary in the original production of South Pacific

Reason: The first nomination didn't go so well, but I think part of that was the colour balance, which was rather hurting this one. Firstly, there was a bug in the version of GIMP I was using at the time that made images substantially redder, and second, the LoC scan is a little odd colour-wise itself. I've dropped the saturation a little bit, resaved without the bug, and I think the strengths - A photo of an actress in the original production of a major, major Broadway show - now shine through

Oppose – It's an important image, and a valuable one to have on Wikipedia, but I'm not sure the quality is where it needs to be for a FP (and this is no the fault of the wonderful restoration work that Adam is doing). The image is fairly soft overall, lots of detail is lost in the shadows, and, as mentioned above, the composition and cropping are off. --Ahecht (TALK
