- @Charlesjsharp: I'm not sure what you mean by this. I'm not a photography expert, so please bare with me. I'm unaware of the technical details surrounding this image since it was uploaded by Balliol College themselves. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:11, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Old photos can be worked on by specialists, removing noise, scratches etc. so that an old image can look better. Have a look at the hundreds of similar FPs. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:41, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that must have been the case with this one, too. Should this be acknowledged in the file description? Modussiccandi (talk) 16:05, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am not making myself clear. This photo should be restored before nomination. Look at his tie. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I was clearly being slow. It's understood now. Would it be okay to close this nomination as "not promoted" or do we have to wait for the normal period to elapse? Modussiccandi (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
