Reason: Good resolution, nice and sharp, fairly interesting for an official portrait. I've had to remove a bit of dust and some hairs (this photo seems to have been taken in the late 80s)

Just a note: I've also gone and expanded the article 12-fold (not too much to demand, considering it was not even 300 characters to start with). No issues with this one hitting the main page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:44, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support the new version uploaded by Muhammad. That's much better. Oppose - Black levels are too high, reducing overall contrast. This could be easily fixed in Photoshop (Image/Auto Color - ping me if you want me to do it - I'm not sure what the protocol is during an FPC review). - Mr X 20:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC) - Mr X 22:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On my monitor I don't see any issues with black levels here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thus is the nature of perception, I suppose. I would recommend looking at the histogram values, or trying as I suggested in Photoshop. It does improve the photo noticeably. - Mr X 01:32, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As with the Australia picture, we will have to agree to disagree on any "improvement" from auto-levels. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree regarding the levels. Have uploaded a manual levels edit. --Muhammad(talk) 22:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think (though I haven't met Mr. Myers in person) that the skin tone is slightly off in the edit, based on our other pictures of him and the colour photograph here. But eh, que sera sera. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:29, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose edit 1 per Adam below. Need to dial down the saturation a bit. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 21:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose edit 1 - It looks rather too saturated. Generally speaking, after a levels adjustment, you usually have to lower saturation. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:34, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so it wasn't just me thinking it was oversaturated compared to the original... --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 21:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
