Support either preferring original -- Ayesha23 (talk) 15:06, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support either, preference for alt. But it does look rather faded and lacking in contrast. I'm no expert on restoration and the ethics of various adjustments, but I assume the goal is to bring it to life as much as possible (realistically, of course)...

There is a clear consensus that the alt should be promoted.
