Original – Brigadier general Benjamin O. Davis Sr., the first African American general officer in the U.S. Army, circa 1945
Reason
High quality, shot is composed alright, general in front of a map is thematically fitting, and is also in full color, which is unusual for 1945 or so

  • Oppose – Low quality. File size is 204KB, that's small. A larger less compressed file would have shown more fine details. It needs a restoration to remove spots and dust. Also there is a large out of focus patch on his shirt (on his left chest and his left upper arm), it's easy to see when zoomed in, say at 150% size. It looks abnormal (looks like a cut and pasted patch, or maybe the scanner messed up for some reason). Good composition and good EV though. I would support This image if it's restored from its original tiff Here. Bammesk (talk) 02:32, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
