 * Comment. I realize this is an artifact of the original image, but the sky and water seem distractingly green to me. Would it be possible to adjust them more towards blue or do you think that would be inappropriate digital manipulation? Since I suppose there is no way to know exactly how the colors on this photo originally looked, I imagine it would be OK to use some artistic license, but I'm not sure what your opinion on this would be.

 * Oppose Although, the image is old and probably very high quality for its age, we must still take into account its usefulness to its article. I believe that it is of such poor quality that a sketch or painting from the time would be much better. Mahahahaneapneap (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Nice as a thumbnail, but a very bad quality at full size. Age is not an excuse here. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 22:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I also have to oppose per usefulness to its article as mentioned above. M.K. (talk) 21:08, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
