~~Weak Support~~. This image is great other than its size, I would rather it be larger. --Pharaoh Hound 13:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Maybe the uploader has a higher resolution version (although at 750x1000, the pick satisfies WP:WIAFP suggested criterion). ˉˉ^anetode╞┬╡ 13:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)~~ Thanks for uploading the hi-rez version, Aurbina. ˉˉ^anetode╞┬╡ 08:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1. Looks good! --Pharaoh Hound 19:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Great picture, but... compression artifacts (sky/head). I'll support a less compressed, preferably larger version. --Janke | Talk 15:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Ditto to Janke. -Ravedave 17:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC) [reply]
Support edit 1 High res version is nice -Ravedave
Support. Must be me, but if I look at the full high-res version, I can't see any major artefacts. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's because a new, larger & better version has been uploaded! So, full Support, now, for the consensus version! --Janke | Talk 08:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like! --Mad Max 09:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 2. Have done two edits to try to improve the shadows on the statues and remove some artefacting (which I think was still there in the sky). My personal preference is the cropped second edit, but support any. I love Moai. --jjron 10:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, very nice. --Cyde↔Weys 14:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 2. Cropped image removed the partial shot of the rock? or another statue? Either way, it's a great image. bob rulz 01:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't like the crop much, it makes the statue look like he has his nose up against some glass or something. It also brings out the space at the right hand side too much - the rock doesn't really bother me. Stevage 17:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like it a lot. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 16:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support original... I like the contrast on the face... the other two edits take that away... gren グレン 18:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support version 2 or version 3. Something about this photo just speaks to me (no pun intended). TomStar81 05:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support original version, weak support for the two edited versions. The contrast and colors in the original seem more lifelike, and although the two other versions bring out more detail in the face and the stone's surface, they just don't ring true. Kafziel 12:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Support the first, colors seem less washed out. Very historical and good contrast (but really only in 1st). -OldMajor 02:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
