  • The picture itself isn't bad, reasonably engaging (having said which my personal preference for Ali would be an action shot), but quality is poor. Even in B&W I don't think you can get with away with an image of 3,000 × 3,765px at less than half a meg filesize - quality has to suffer. Even in thumbnail we can see problems down the right side of his head, and the bigger you go the worse it gets. It could be 'cleaned up' to remove some of the dust and marks from the scan, but there's problems you won't clean-up without a better scan. Are you sure there's not a better version at the LOC? --jjron (talk) 08:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
