Franklin D. Roosevelt

 * Reason:I'd easily put it on par with those of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, U.S. Grant and Golda Meir.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Franklin D. Roosevelt, New Deal, President of the United States, Liberalism, United States presidential election, 1932, 1930s, Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century
 * Creator:Elias Goldensky


 * Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too much sharpening and post-processing. At full resolution it looks like FDR's face has the texture of fuzzy suede. File:FDR_in_1933_edit.jpg, although not as sharp, seems far more accurate as far as skin texture, etc. Kaldari (talk) 20:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Replaced with edit Sir Richardson (talk) 20:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Previous nomination. Makeemlighter (talk) 20:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. We have 3 or 4 versions of this image on Commons and they are all edited to hell, IMO. I would support an unedited cropped version of the original LOC file if people could be convinced not to mess with it. Durova might be able to work some magic on it, but I wouldn't trust anyone else with a restoration this difficult. Kaldari (talk) 21:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too much of the head is out of focus for my liking. --Chrismiceli (talk) 03:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Should be added to Malcolm Turnbull (sorry, humour for the Aussies) . --jjron (talk) 14:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Another retouch version by myself now pictured. The suit is darkened, but its somewhat of an improvement. Sir Richardson (talk) 22:16, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose latest version. Huge areas of his face have just been wiped of all detail making it look really weird. BTW it's standard practice to add edits below each other like the noms just below this, not just keep swapping over the 'Original' with new edits (I think you've done this twice?). --jjron (talk) 06:19, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per jjron, and even a mint edition of this photo wouldn't be terribly interesting; better photos of FDR exist. Nick-D (talk) 09:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Just a bad image of FDR... — raeky ( talk 12:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose Absolutely terrible Photoshop processing. It isn't even in any articles. -- mcshadypl T C  01:18, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
