• Support as nominator – TheFreeWorld (talk) 17:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Tentative Full support after a of the crop, thus: from the bottom, cut at the top of the knuckle at right, from the right, cut at the top thumb-tack - see sample. High EV: leading image in article, pretty good quality for its age and 35 mm negative. Janke | Talk 18:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support – Yann (talk) 19:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, the crop is better. Yann (talk) 11:09, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support the proposed crop. Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I'd also crop off enough pixels to remove the damage on top, or repair it otherwise. MER-C 09:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose I do not believe we should crop archive photos or photos by living photographers. We should assume the photographer wanted it as it is. This image is ruined by the hand in the foreground, but should not be cropped (or cloned). Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:49, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support crop only. We have a history of allowing digital manipulation when the image is not the subject of an article in and of itself. Restorations remove dust and smudges, uploaders adjust contrast and balance levels (mostly for digital images, but I have had to use it for images I scanned personally), etc. In this case, an argument can readily be made that the extraneous arm was not a deliberate part of the composition, but rather an "action" shot of an architect by a landscape/architectural photographer who saw the opportunity and took it.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Preference for the new lossless crop. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I restored the nominated version and did an upload. The image had already been partially (mostly) restored by Yann. I also uploaded the original TIFF from the Library of Congress. If the nom passes, we can upload a lossless crop (as a separate file). Pinging supporters for a second look @TheFreeWorld, Janke, Yann, MER-C, and Crisco 1492:.

  • Sounds like a plan to me.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either. MER-C 14:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fine. Yann (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I see sufficient consensus, I uploaded the restored and cropped version as a separate file. I added it to the nom and the biography article. Bammesk (talk) 17:58, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support crop – Choliamb (talk) 19:19, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
