Weak oppose. His face seems a bit 'flat' and lacking in contrast, and there is a rather unfortunate line down his nose - a scan artifact? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Terribly sorry but oppose fro the moment. The Library of Congress original isn't terrific to start with, but this image is upsampled from the original tiff, which makes it a little fuzzier still. I would first of all keep the image at its original size, deal with the (scanning?) artifacts on the right hand side of the portrait, and then fiddle with the histogram a bit to increase the contrast. Perhaps do just a leetle sharpening around the eyes (faded to, say, 20% or so), and leave the image otherwise as is. -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 14:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On quick inspection, there seems to be a significant amount of artifacting on the nose and mustache of the original. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 06:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
