 * Oppose – the painting itself is nice, but this version fails featured picture criterion #1 due to compression artifacts. – Ilse@ 10:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Uploaded Alt. 1 - this is larger, and a much higher quality scan. (Note how the artist has signed his work in a clever fashion - see full size image...) --Janke | Talk 14:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The image quality of alternative 1 is much better, although the color halftoning of the print (that was scanned) is visible when viewed on full size. – Ilse@ 16:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Original per above, oppose alt 1 because we don't really see the full picture. Dengero (talk) 21:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * AFAIK this is the full picture. "Summer" exists in several versions, and this earlier one does not have the leaf border seen on the 1573 version... --Janke | Talk 09:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * nono, I know this is the full picture, but because its only the side of him, and completes his body with (clothes?) material, it doesn't really have the fruity taste to this picture, which is what this is meant to be about. The top one is perfect, except for the quality criteria. Dengero (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Alt 1 I didn't notice any artifacts in either picture. But the alt is better quality and less paint peeled off. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 11:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
