    • Hmm. You are right, although they're not as obtrustive as they can sometimes be. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:37, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • After thinking it over, I've decided to give this photograph my Support despite my misgivings over its quality issues. It appears to be the best photograph available of this painting on the internet, the artifacts aren't bad at a 50% view, which is still of substantial size, Horatio Nelson is of major historical importance, almost legendary in his status, and the white spots appear to represent real damage to the painting, not to be retouched. This is not Commons, so EV reigns supreme. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 16:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support not great quality but we can D&R if we get a better one. --Pine✉ 07:30, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, as per Pine. It has an artefact problem, but this is by far the best for now. "England expects that every man will do his duty!" Indefatigable2 (talk) 05:54, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
