The Purple Heart

I think it's another beautiful example of the great images in the U.S. Marine's photo archive, let's see what you think. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:27, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. The colour treatment is pretty tacky. Mark1 08:41, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The grey parts esp top left are unacceptably blotchy. I know size is not a criterion, but if it gets accepted, could someone please make it a bit smaller and use a bit more jpeg compression? Enochlau 09:05, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Oeff, my apologies for adding it without compression, I must have forgotten. I've downsized the image slightly and reuploaded a Q85 jpeg version. About the top left, isn't the blotchiness we're seeing actually a camouflage suit? I doesn't look like an image artifact to me at least. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 11:26, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Not very sharp, bit grainy. Moire effect on the bands of the strap. ed g2stalk 14:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support That is clearly camo in the background. I like the concept and the picture was well done. the birthmark? on the left palm is discolored but still an excellent pic. Cavebear42 17:07, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Dislike the hands and the colour treatment has a whiff of propaganda to it. -- GWO
  • Oppose. More than a whiff. Matthewcieplak 02:50, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support. Even if it has a bit of a propagand-ish feel to it, it is still a pretty picture. JWall.
