Original – Hector Berlioz by Pierre Petit
Reason
Ever really want to do something, but some sneaky bastard cunning got in and did it first, the swine? Well, I call Jebulon out as that extremely talented swine. ;) Eyeing both versions, I think, somewhat unusually, the crop is the right choice for once. The awkward framing of the original version, like a 1950s television turned on its side, really doesn't work so well.

  • Comment - The damage in his crotch area has a bit of a bluish/purple tinge which I doubt was in the original. Worth fixing? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's more of a sort of glaze formed on the darkest bits of the image. It's not that uncommon. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:20, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm... odd, I can't recall seeing it before. Still worth knocking back the blues a bit? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:26, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Mind you, I'm often fairly ruthless with removing it. It's often a distraction. Here, though, it's a very minor part of the image, and not particularly distracting. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm... guess my eyes are playing tricks on me. I tried reducing the saturation of cyans, blues, and magentas in PS, but it had little to no effect on the section. Support — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:36, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Thanks for the nomination. Maybe this crop is more useful for an encyclopedical use, but I prefer in "Commons" the original version: the crop losses informations. I'm not a fan of the new color neither. Anyway, congratulations to Pierre Petit, who was really an excellent portraitist.--Jebulon (talk) 21:21, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jebulon: Now that you mention it, the colours ARE better in the original. Withdraw for a bit while I work on this. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Adam Cuerden: Wouldn't suspending this better than withdrawing? Armbrust The Homunculus 18:15, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
