 * Support – Vinícius O. (talk) 15:21, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Good photo with strong EV. I'd note though that a cropped version is currently in the bio article - I don't think that the crop is actually better in that context. I also don't love the barbies at the front of the photo being out of focus, but suspect that this was unavoidable given camera technology at the time. Nick-D (talk) 23:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you indicate which version(s) you support? Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 17:45, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Restored version – Vinícius O. (talk) 01:52, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Restored version. Silly question, no? TarkusAB talk / contrib 07:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also the restored version Nick-D (talk) 08:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it's probably fair to say as well that for most uses of the time, which would have been newspaper halftone, the focus wouldn't have mattered that much. I think we're lucky that photos of the period tend to be as good as they are. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 18:30, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
