Comment Isn't this a touch too bright and saturated, maybe? Seems a little much for 1916, before some of the modern dyes. Also, need the crop be that tight on the right? It's removing details of the second waterbaby. if you must crop - a reasonable choice for the Wikipedia-version - I'd suggest favouring cropping on the left, and upload an uncropped version - most people will be happy if something exists with an alternate compromise to the problems, even if the crop is better for Wikipedia, which it might well be.

I don't think it's too saturated. I've seen some well-preserved older painting that look about as bright as this. As for the crop, I believe it's fine. All that's missing on the right side is a bit of space before the baby's head. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 01:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well... Neutral - though I'd suggest uploading an uncropped version: It really is best practice to offer an alternative when doing the more extreme crops. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think this is an excellent image, and if the subject is significant enough to warrent an article, that's enough for me - The Talking Sock talk contribs 22:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question Where's the EV on this one? We already have an FP for Water Babies. Is this picture somehow more illustrative of the book than the other one? Does it show something unique that I'm missing? Makeemlighter (talk) 06:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It shows another illustration of the book. The book is over a three hundred pages long, so I don't see the problem with having two pictures, which illustrate different parts of the book, featured. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 20:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I'm just not sure about the EV here. I'm not saying it doesn't have any; I just don't know how much it has and if that's enough to feature it. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
