  • Question: Pardon me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be restored to take off some of the scratches and other extraneous markings? SpencerT♦C 07:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, you're right... Why else would Durova have spend so much time restoring a great number of pictures? 31.53.44.76 (talk) 15:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose for now. I'd like to see some (very conservative) restoration. J Milburn (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose for now per J Milburn. I too would like to see some restoration before I support it as FP. Good image with very high EV otherwise. --WingtipvorteX PTT 17:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Milburn. A little cleaning, and this will get a full support from me. Dusty777 17:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
