  • Comment - It's good quality. I'm just wondering if whould we have the bottom edge cropped out a bit. What do you think? Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:36, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The edge isn't straight, so I think part of the painting would be chopped off during crop. Maybe there's another way... Brandmeistertalk 21:17, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's why, when I copied images from the MET, I always kept a black border, to keep the canvas from looking artificially straight... Shame Google doesn't have the other three edges online. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Personally, I don't mind having a small bit of the painting cropped just to even it out. But is it such a crime to do so under FP standards? Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:01, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well, WP:WIAFP advises against "deceptive", "inappropriate" and "any manipulation which causes the main subject to be misrepresented". Brandmeistertalk 09:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • Problem being that the other sides have already been cropped like that... — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
