- Comment I was in the process of cleaning up this picture and I was wondering what the gray area to the right of Einstein's left cheek was. Is it better if that were cloned out or left behind? victorrocha (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- It appears to be a spot on the photograph itself. I recommend that it be removed. SpencerT♦C 21:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I uploaded a restored version of the photo but I'm not sure if the license is correct. I'm new to editing and I would appreciate if someone would check it and make any corrections, thx. If anyone has any concerns about the photo feel free to mention it. victorrocha (talk) 22:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

- Weak support alt. Good quality, but still not too close to FP. What exactly would the caption be for the photo? ¢rassic! (talk) 00:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose both Not that good of a photo, even a historical one. AFAIK, the photo is not well know on its own right, and as a depiction of Einstein, I don't really find outstanding. It's poorly cropped and lit, but what's worst is that it has been started on an old-fashioned retouching process—look at the paint to the right of Forman. The job was poorly done (it cuts into his hair) and not finished, leaving it just a distracting blemish on the picture. Not to mention that the scan isn't great either; a lot of that grain looks like digital (especially jpeg) artifacts. Thegreenj 01:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose as its a nice image, very encyclopedic, but a few errors which have already been pointed out. What is that grey part on the right, round Forman's head? Looks as if someone has painted on it? ← κεηηε∂γ (talk) 12:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's paint, probably from an earlier attempt to put Einstein and Foreman on a white background. I've seen something like this before, an unfinished paint retouching, but I can't remember exactly where... Thegreenj 15:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - Don't think this should have been cropped from it's original form, plus the paint mark is just weird. Like they were trying to remove someone. pschemp | talk 19:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
