Support as nominatorSupport alt as original's nominator – Pine✉ 05:27, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Changed to support Bammesk's alt. --Pine✉ 18:17, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Is this level of noise acceptable nowadays? Counterbalancing that is that this picture is irreplaceable. Not sure how to vote yet. MER-C 19:46, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support alternate (changed vote). MER-C 08:39, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support (either version) – I'm not bothered by the noise, since the details are sharp enough. Somebody could give the sky (but nothing else) a bit of de-noising, though. --Janke | Talk 19:55, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support ALT (changed vote) – EV, and agree with Janke. Bammesk (talk) 00:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support I think the noise is acceptable here and denoising would be very tricky. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:23, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- I introduced an alternate denoised version (denoised just the sky area, it wasn't easy, but doable) and changed my vote. Pinging those who voted: @Pine, MER-C, Janke, and Charlesjsharp: ---- Bammesk (talk) 03:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
