• Weak support – Good image and good restoration. I still cannot get over the backrest extending high above his shoulders, it looks like wings or some kind of armor! sorry. This image: [1] is better, not sure it is sharp enough though. Bammesk ( talk) 19:33, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • @ Bammesk: That one really doesn't have any detail. It's very posterised, or at least grainy. I looked at it and rejected it for that reason. Adam Cuerden ^{( talk)} 19:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply
