Comment. This is going to take quite a bit more Queen-up. Resizing possibly, but probably a host of noise reduction schemes that will ultimately result in an even softer image, but with less grain/noise/artefacts. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 18:54, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Bad puns aside I agree with PLW that this really needs some more cleanup before being feature quality. Since I'm not active on FPC very often anymore permission is given to Papa Lima Whiskey to strike this comment when that has occurred to his satisfaction.

Oppose. I'm sure there are lots of much better pictures of Freddie Mercury available. The light in the background is very intrusive and the picture in general is way too noisy. It looks like it has been scanned from a magazine print or something. Luca (talk) 19:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
