•  Comment I much prefer the other painting, but that aside, it looks to me like there's some uneven glare on the painting. Do you agree? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:12, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Better than the other one, but still not above the quality bar set by other digitized paintings. Daniel Case (talk) 03:21, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: As per the instruction page, it is not an official policy and I think the resolution is enough as per Commons: Scanning#Paintings, full-colour illustrations, and similar works.245CMR.•^👥📜 06:05, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

My judgement is subjective. I said nothing about the resolution either way. I just don't think it's as good as our other digitized paintings. Daniel Case (talk) 06:12, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

We're not looking for "just enough" at FPC. We're looking for "absolutely outstanding". You are absolutely welcome to continue nominating work here, but you also might consider nominating some of your work at COM:QIC, if you haven't already done so. Quality images are of good quality, not necessarily among the very best on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
