 * Comment You've gone for quite a faded paper colour there. I suspect you had a reason for that, but what is it? I would still be curious about a version where the light-coloured smoke is proper white (and other tones adjusted accordingly). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's certainly less faded looking than the original :P I wanted to be conservative with the adjustment is all. I uploaded the TIF, so if you want to make an edit, go for it.  Jujutacular  talk 15:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Uploaded a more radical version. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer edit. Thanks PLW.  Jujutacular  talk 17:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Support edit but I cannot say I am happy with the original caption. Why is it "Death of.." since it is not too obvious that the guy is going to die? Nergaal (talk) 21:27, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Reynolds died from falling off of his horse, which is what this is depicting. This happened before the actual battle took place.  Jujutacular  talk 00:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * His article says he was shot in the back of the head or neck, before falling from his horse, and died almost instantly. --Avenue (talk) 01:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I guessed it was something like that. The image doesn't clearly imply that, but the caption is ok in clarifying that. Nergaal (talk) 03:17, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support edit: very nice.  Mae din\ talk 12:43, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
