Walt Whitman
Just browsing through the poetry article when I was struck by this picture of Walt Whitman. I love the contrast and shadows and the detail on the beard. This is my first time to nominate a picture. TheCoffee 09:20, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Nominate and support. TheCoffee 09:20, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice beard. -- Chris 73 Talk 09:31, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose; jpeg artifacts. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 12:05, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC) (Support second or third versions. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 11:09, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC))
 * I'm working on a replacement based on a 33MB TIFF from the Library of Congress. The only problem is that the brightness/contrast are different on it, but this one will be guaranteed not to have any artifacts.  In time.... :)  BRIAN 0918   22:07, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Denni &#9775; 00:24, 2005 Mar 2 (UTC)
 * Support original photo. I like the kind of moody off white a lot more than the every day black and white of the adjusted one. I also think the unadjusted one looks sharper in the beard --Fir0002 06:11, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. TheCoffee 06:58, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded a third version, in a attempt to satisfy everybody. It's also full-size, which is probably overkill. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 10:06, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support this version or the 2nd version. -- BRIAN 0918  15:21, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Support. The third version looks very good, the first also.&#9999; Sverdrup 15:25, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the third version, Oppose the second. -Lommer | talk 01:42, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the third version, don't mind the first. (The second appears artificial.) Sandover 05:10, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Janderk 11:42, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support 2nd photo. To me, it looks better than the other two. TomStar81 00:42, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Promote, Hard to tell, but I think 3rd has the most support BrokenSegue 15:52, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
