 * Oppose compare it to the original - the restoration was OK up until the point that the sky got overdarked, bringing out a lot of grain and splots. I would probably support a better restoration, in fact I'll probably do it if I get a moment. Also, is this really the highest resolution that is available - 588 seems like a low vertical dimension from what was presumably a fair sized set of prints - that makes the prints less than 2" high at 300dpi which seems unlikely - if the prints were larger they were scanned at too low a resolution. Shame. Mfield (talk) 16:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. The earliest version of the image here looks much better, although it has the split. And that's be great if you could do a better restoration of the image. Mastrchf (t/c) 17:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support I reworked the file from the original and uploaded it over the top as there were no votes yet except mine and the nominator who agreed on a new rework. The weak part of the support is per my original comments about the lack of resolution. Mfield (talk) 18:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak support. Being unfamiliar with the site, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, and assume that it wasn't possible to obtain a photograph that would have had all the buildings in frame. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 17:56, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose This image doesn't do it for me. Just being old and panoramic doesn't necessarily make it a FP, and to be honest, it makes me kind of dizzy. smooth0707  (talk) 21:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose It looks nice, but it doesn't seem to illustrate the nature of Walter Reed, the appearance or work done there.Becky Sayles (talk) 00:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
