  • Comment - Wouldn't this work better straightened? —  Crisco 1492 ( talk) 08:32, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
    • You'd have to do a lot of cloning to keep both the lower left corner boat and flame/plume fully within the frame. Not sure we should consider this acceptable, given the other perspective mentioned below. Samsara ( FA   FP) 16:23, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
      • I'd have gone with some cloning, some cropping. —  Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Inserted a straightened, cropped and cloned alternative to the original.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 21:01, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
The lower left hand corner has some obvious cloning issues to clean up, but at the moment I am unable to override the file at commons. Just got a new account there to be inline with my account name here. it's probably just an edit count or upload issue that straightens out after some time, edits and uploads.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 23:28, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Support Alt 2 Its has been cleaned up further. I think its good to go. What do you think Pine, Crisco 1492 and Samsara.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 19:22, 3 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Mark Miller that looks ok to me. This nomination is about to expire so it likely will need a new nomination, which I will do now. -- Pine 19:30, 3 October 2014 (UTC) reply
