•  Info created by unknown 17th century artist - uploaded by User:Dcoetzee - nominated by User:Dcoetzee -- Dcoetzee (talk) 23:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Support -- This is a higher quality version of the previously-nominated image File:Elizabeth I of England - coronation portrait.jpg, showing Queen Elizabeth I of England in her full coronation robes. Besides being an excellent portrait, it has particular historical significance and is used in 124 pages in 42 projects. It's an 11 megapixel image scanned at 600 dpi from the source book, and at full resolution shows some half-toning in dark regions (partly corrected with a non-linear filter) and blurriness due to printing limitations, but I'm uncertain about whether this is sufficient to disqualify it. (And no, her face isn't overexposed - Elizabeth was known for wearing white lead makeup over her entire face.) Dcoetzee (talk) 23:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Scans from books are notoriously difficult. Noticeable half-toning spoils the party. Lycaon (talk) 08:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
  • For what it's worth, the half-toning is considerably less pronounced at half-resolution, which is still a good 2.7 MP. Dcoetzee (talk) 09:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose still obviously half-toned, I'm afraid. A valuable image, certainly, but not featured quality. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
