• Oppose Poor quality. A downsample might improve the contrast and eliminate the excessive grain. Alvesgaspar 14:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I made an alternative version based on the TIFF at the LOC website. This one avoids the compression artifacts and has slightly higher contrast. --KFP (talk | contribs) 15:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose for now. Great picture, but needs serious cleanup effort. And a caption. ~ trialsanderrors 16:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose Arad's edit takes care of the dust, but I agree it's too bright, and some distracting shadows remain (upper left and upper right corners in particular). ~ trialsanderrors 20:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support Edit 2 or 3 --Arad 14:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support Edit 2 as well, LordHarris 17:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• OpposeSorry I do not like the other edits. Edit number 2 is too bright/light. Need to do a few more alternatives. LostCity42 17:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - Here is edit 3. Hope it's fixed now. --Arad 21:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
• OK, I added my own edit from the LoC tiff, mostly to bring out the rich details of her face, which have gotten lost in the other versions. Support Edit 4. ~ trialsanderrors 10:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support Edit 4 it got the brightness best. -Fcb981 15:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support edit 4. I can tell just by the thumbnails. howcheng {chat} 20:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support edit 4 (preferred) or any of the others except edit 2. YechielMan 00:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Not very striking 8thstar 23:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Support edit 4. A technically excellent portrait photograph it will inevitably be encyclopedic. Pstuart84 Talk 15:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
