 * Question: Pardon me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be restored to take off some of the scratches and other extraneous markings?  Spencer T♦ C 07:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No, you're right... Why else would Durova have spend so much time restoring a great number of pictures? 31.53.44.76 (talk) 15:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Support SkywalkerPL (talk) 15:49, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now. I'd like to see some (very conservative) restoration. J Milburn (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose for now per J Milburn. I too would like to see some restoration before I support it as FP. Good image with very high EV otherwise. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  17:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Milburn. A little cleaning, and this will get a full support from me. Dusty 777 17:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
