- At Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Ganesh (musée d'art asiatique de Berlin).jpg, i wrote: "Encyclopaedic value can be evaluated by knowing the following aspects from article FA Ganesha quoting: "He (Ganesha) may be portrayed standing, dancing,", "Ganesha is often shown riding on or attended by a mouse or rat.","The number of Ganesha's arms varies; his best-known forms have between two and sixteen arms." - eight arms here.", for which i got a review "Yes, this image is encyclopedic but it is unlikely to succeed at FPC" because of technical issues

- Support, very nice sculpture and good encyclopedic value. --Nvineeth (talk) 07:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment The current version of the image seems to have more block artifacts near the edge of the sculpture than the original. Can you explain, what processing was done ? Abecedare (talk) 08:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

- HP Image Zone was used to brighten the image, another version has been uploaded to correct the edge errors. --Redtigerxyz Talk 09:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- The block artifacts are still present, and are most likely due to (bad) JPEG recompression by the HP zone software. To see these artifacts, look at the image at full scale and focus along the right edge of the sculpture (say, near the top left arm of Ganesh) and you'll see some grey "squares", where ideally one should see perfectly black background. The artifacts are also very prominent in the region where the original image showed hints of the wires used to support the sculpture (See bottom right part of the image). It may be better to use the original image, or use better photo processing software to edit it. Abecedare (talk) 10:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- I am reverting to the original, so that somebody else can fix any problems present. --Redtigerxyz Talk 10:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

- Support Images of dancing + eight-armed Ganesha seem to be rarer than his more common four-armed seated iconography; and this decent quality photograph of a museum quality sculpture, that also clearly shows his mount, is a valuable addition to the FA Ganesha article.

- Support per Abecedare. It's the only image in the article in the "Vahanas" section. Intothewoods29 (talk) 22:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
