 * support alternative balance. Is darkness in original image due to specular reflection, so an actual viewer would see the more striking blue from a different angle anyway? In any case, the subtle blue is lost on my monitor. Potatoswatter (talk) 06:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support original only; the edit seems overly bright and slightly posterised to me. On sight of the original at Commons, I've changed my mind :o/ With the unedited version there you can actually see that this is painted silk, and the colouring and line work is really subtle. Most of this subtlety is lost here, even in the original nom. Can't you have a go at it instead, Durova? --mikaultalk 01:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
