Original – Portrait of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, taken by Alberto Korda on 5 March 1960, at the La Coubre explosion memorial service.
Alt 1: Hand-restored by Adam Cuerden from apparent original of the above.
Reason
High resolution, really popular image, high quality. Probably one of the most iconic portraits of all time, it even has its own article. There was a previous nomination for this image which failed to be promoted to featured picture status, however that was a lower quality and highly compressed older version of the photo which was uploaded in 2006. It has since now been updated and I believe it deserves the status.
Articles in which this image appears
Che Guevara, Guerrillero Heroico, Communist symbolism, Beret, Mike Tyson's tattoos, List of photographs considered the most important, Anti-Americanism etc.
