•  Neutral Striking (and presumably historic) portrait, but could do with having the brightness or saturation of that distracting background element greatly reduced. -- Korax1214 (talk) 02:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support (My support to Edit 2 now --S23678 (talk) 19:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)) Good quality, DOF separates well the subject from the disturbing background. Would have been better to have another facial expression but I guess this was not a dedicated photoshoot, so I forgive. Perhaps more info could be usefull as to in what occasion this picture was taken. --S23678 (talk) 23:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose A very valuable shot, but the light is too soft, making the face look flat despite the (too) narrow DOF. As to the background, I'm with Korax1214. –Dilaudid 13:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit — Image:Ryszard Kaczorowski 2008 edit.jpg, not featured

I've edited this image (in Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, if anyone's interested) so as to reduce the brightness and saturation of the background by 50 (I think that means 50%, but the program just says "50"). -- Korax1214 (talk) 11:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support as nominator of edited version. -- Korax1214 (talk) 11:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice try, but the modification is very visible at the transition background/subject (mainly in the hairs and the shoulders). --S23678 (talk) 12:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

• I would upload the .pspimage version of this image somewhere, so that a more skilled manipulator can have another attempt, but it's 35Mb. :( (I think increasing the black area of the mask to include all hairs, and then running a blur brush over the border between the black and white areas to make a smoother transition between white (full effect) and black (no effect), might do it.) Perhaps if I convert the mask layer to a B/W image (assuming this can be done) and upload that? This could also make it possible to make the second attempt with a different program. -- Korax1214 (talk) 21:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support Good image. Freedom to share (talk) 14:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry to be late, I would have supported the original, but this edit isn't very careful. For example there is some red shading left on the left shoulder, the whole outline is pretty visible, etc. --Dori - Talk 02:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very poor masking indeed. Lycaon (talk) 11:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose As above. –Dilaudid 09:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

•  Support Well done. --S23678 (talk) 19:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose There is pretty visible banding from the cloning on the left of the image. --Dori - Talk 00:59, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support It is better. Background doesn't matter that much now. --Alex:D (talk) 12:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
•  Support --Beyond silence 15:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
