 * Oppose Grainy as all can be. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you please do any restoration work? I observed those white spots and dust, but I don't know how to remove it.—Nikhil(talk) 07:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That doesn't look to be something fixable. I think this picture's scanned from a book or something. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:20, 15 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Loss of shadow detail, blown sky, flat lighting and tilted horizon. The grain and horizon can be fixed, but the exposure issues can not. - MrX 20:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm pretty sure the "grain" is JPEG artefacting. It's one of those things you have to train your eyes a bit to tell. It has this funny horizontal-line pattern whereas film grain generally doesn't tend to be so strictly oriented. (As such, Oppose) Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:16, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose Image has lots of EV, but it does need either heavy restoration, or a rescan. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  22:40, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I think there's too much JPEG artefacting for a restoration to do much, frankly. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:49, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
