Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Admiral Farragut

Original - Admiral David Farragut of the American Civil War.

Unrestored file from colloidon glass negative, 1855-1865. (provided for comparison).

Reason: Admiral Farragut was the top Union Naval offier of the American Civil War. This was the man who said, Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead. The eyes fascinate me - calm and fierce at the same time.

Oppose Great job on the clean up but I've got to oppose on composition - LHS hand cut off --Fir0002 11:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

- Actually that crop was a necessity. As you can see from the unrestored version, that area of the photograph was heavily damaged. The portion beyond the current frame was too decomposed to restore. Durova^Charge! 11:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
