In a way, I'd prefer it higher resolution, so we can see the stitches. But I reall find it a bit irrestistable. Support Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 00:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find a higher quality (complete) scan of the embroidery online, but I think that this scan serves the purpose of presenting the artwork well enough. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 13:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - This is a weird one, but for presentation purposes it works when the tall image template is used. I think the reproduction quality is good, and I like the uniqueness of the source work. Moonreach (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also support the alt if that streamlines things. Moonreach (talk) 13:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support alt 1 ~~Comment~~ I saw this work when it was displayed as part of an exhibition of Parker's works in Sydney a few years ago, and this image doesn't really do it justice. While it has strong EV by capturing all of the work, it doesn't really get across that this is a huge work - it ran for about a third of the length of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. A set with this image and an image that captures the work's scale would have stronger EV and impact. Edit: that said, the EV is excellent here and the quality is high, so I can definitely support this nomination. Nick-D (talk) 22:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've found two images (here and here) that demonstrate the true scale of the embroidery, however I'm not sure if the photos are of the technical quality required for an FP. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 13:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1 – I rotated the image and cleaned up the edges, uploaded as Alt 1. Pinging participants @Howardcorn33, Moonreach, Adam Cuerden, and Nick-D:. The resolution isn't high for such a large artwork, but it's still impressive. It can be replaced later with a higher resolution scan. Bammesk (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt 1: Thanks for editing the photo. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 06:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
