•  Info My 2nd candidate and another retouched wartime pic (Soviet POWs during the Winter War). As I was going through the archives, the eyes and the simple geometry of the picture caught me immediately - even from a thumbnail. Created by unknown - uploaded by Manelolo - nominated by Manelolo -- Manelolo (talk) 19:50, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment I find this picture striking. Thanks for taking the time to clean it up a bit. I went ahead and did some modifications myself. My initial motivation was denoising, but I wound up doing a bit more than that. I think the result is pretty decent, but it may not be to everyone's tastes to modify an old photo that much, so I uploaded it and then reverted back to the last version you had. Here is the version I uploaded vs. the current version. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  23:29, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

  Thx Rhododendrites, I prefer your version as well! How is the official etiquette on this and the nomination: Should I revert to your version immediately or wait a while/until the end of the voting to see if people prefer yours as well? Manelolo (talk) 07:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

• in this case I think best would be to revert to that version and ping people who have already voted to make sure it is ok with them — Rhododendrites ^talk |  07:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - Good historical photograph. I prefer Rhododendrites' version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Very strong, evocative. The cropped people on the sides only serve to increase the viewer's curiosity: who are they? What was their role, what were they thinking at that moment?--Peulle (talk) 00:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Info Per discussions above, FPC switched to denoised etc. version by Rhododendrites. Pinging Ikan Kekek, Peulle and Martin Falbisoner to make sure its ok. Manelolo (talk) 08:15, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment - Since this is the version I said I preferred, of course it's OK. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:20, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
