 * Oppose - For a painting which is more than 2 x 2 meters, this reproduction is really too small -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose. Gotta go with Alvesgaspar on this one. If you can get a larger version, I will definitely support. Clegs (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support per freaky skull. :) As suggested above, would love to see a larger version. faithless   (speak)  09:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support Could we get a larger file, please? Durova Charge! 17:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * this is a larger scan, but I think it's more artifacted. Do you agree? Spikebrennan (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't appear to be a photographic issue of a file issue. I've never seen the original; is your nominated version a restoration?  Durova Charge! 11:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no idea; check the image page for clues. I am neither a photographer nor a photo restorer; I just troll Wikipedia for images that have been uploaded by others and nominate them if they strike me as worthy of nomination.  Spikebrennan (talk) 21:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Dang, wish I had time this week. The Navajo family took several days and someone asked me to work on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising for a Commons FP nom.  Drop this into the workshop if it doesn't pass?  Usually I work on photography, but I've done a few other media lately...  Durova Charge! 06:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
