Oppose restoration needs more work to be featured quality, in my opinion. At full magnification I can still see many spots (on the hair, clothes, and other parts of the image) that look like damage to the negative rather than part of the original. The smudges on the tie also look unnatural, although I can see they are part of the original .tif rather than the result of clumsy editing. (t · c) buidhe 16:27, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I agree, more spots can be removed. Bammesk (talk) 16:53, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Buidhe and Bammesk: I did more clean up. How does it look now? --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 22:02, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coffeeandcrumbs, I annotated some spots on Commons. His left eye has two bright spots, the lower spot isn't real, it doesn't match his right eye. The image isn't sharp at full size, but the pixel count is high and it meets the pixel count requirement even after a scale down. I did a quick google search and there are very few photos of him from that era. This image is from the archives of the U.S. congress, so I am inclined to support for its EV, once the annotated spots are touched up. Bammesk (talk) 14:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bammesk, I did more clean up in the areas you pointed out. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 04:40, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I strongly prefer File:Lawrence Joseph Hogan (restoration).jpg. This looks like a yearbook photo, something cropped in tight for teeny-tiny display. It also makes himlook like he has a giant head. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.3% of all FPs} 20:02, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I was divided on the crop and on first look preferred the uncropped version. Bammesk (talk) 23:08, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm presuming this nomination is basically dead at this point, but would encourage a re-nom soon after it closes (with, perhaps, enough time for the uncropped image to settle in). Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.3% of all FPs} 00:36, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
