•  Oppose The colors look strange to me (surprisingly pale and cold, given that he is working in front of a furnace). Are we sure that this is the best version of the picture? I remember that there were some issues in the past with modifications made by Jan Arkesteijn for which he has been blocked indefinitely. This seems to be the original, this another version. At least, the picture info should indicate that it is a heavily retouched version and not Palmer's original. -- B2Belgium (talk) 07:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per B2Belgium, original photo has warmer colors. --Ivar (talk) 10:40, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
