•  Oppose Sadly, the wire mesh protecting the window completely spoils the shot. -- JovanCormac 13:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree per JovanCormac. Beautifully detailed photograph, but unfortunate about the protective mesh. Even when viewed small, it creates white vertical lines which distract. Julielangford (talk) 13:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Info Here's a first draft of a modified version with most of the mesh removed. Clearly it still needs significant manual editing to look good, but at least it shows that it's technically possible to get rid of the mesh. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, I spent some time cleaning my version up. Here it is now:

•  Support Ilmari Karonen's edit. That's a mighty fine editing job. Julielangford (talk) 18:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Wow, what a great work removing the grid! And many thanks for also describing so detailed how you've done it, that is most helpful!
  Unfortunately I still think the quality is not good enough for FP, sadly - it simply isn't crisp enough IMHO. -- H005 (talk) 18:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• Regretful  Oppose This is certainly one of the most impressive edits I've seen. I didn't think it was possible to remove such a large object from a photo. But sadly, the image revealed beneath the grid is less impressive (see comment by H005). -- JovanCormac 18:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
  •  Info Thanks for the comments, both of you. I've uploaded a new version that has been somewhat sharpened, but I agree that it could still be improved. (And, even if improved, might still not be good enough — such things happen, and there's only so much one can do after the fact.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
