•  Oppose very bad quality --kaʁstn 16:20, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
  • This is a 65 year old photo. Did you read the descripton? Yann (talk) 16:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Yes, I read the description. Okay, it's a little rash. I've delete the FPX, but I think, that this picture has no chance --kaʁstn 16:55, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
      • Okay, my thinking war wrong. Sorry --kaʁstn 18:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support The image meets the requirements, doesn't look too bad AND is 65-year-old. →Diti the penguin — 17:12, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Considering the big resolution and age, quality is atleast enought. It's very strong photo! —kallerna™ 17:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support very good picture from 1944... Otourly (talk) 17:52, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral It is not possible for me (HDSL, but low flow) to load this image in high resolution. I suggest to make a derivated work in medium resolution. --Barbetorte (talk) 11:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I uploaded a smaller version: File:Crowds of French patriots line the Champs Elysees S.jpg. Yann (talk) 13:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

•  Support — one of the finest images of the liberation. Of historical value and of good quality for the time. Booksworm (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unsharp -- downright blurry in the corners, really sharp nowhere ; colours all wrong ; vignetting. Nothing special -- it's a trivial shot of passing mecanised grunts, composition and PoV are not breathtaking. No wow factor. Rama (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --ianaré (talk) 03:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Incidentally, it might be appropriate to rename this image in a way that does not blindly parrot propaganda from the 1940s. Rama (talk) 05:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Interesting, but not FP per Rama. Lycaon (talk) 07:08, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Rastrojo _(D•ES) 15:11, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Paris 16 (talk) 18:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Amazing fellow on the bottom right corner. --Romanceor ^[parlons-en] 00:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Changed my mind ; this isn't FP for reasons above, but overall white balance, which could be corrected. --Romanceor ^[parlons-en] 00:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose – per Rama --Ernie (talk) 18:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Pro2 (talk) 11:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Could you please explain why you oppose? Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Rama is right. I know that this image is very old, but there are better images of this age. -- Pro2 (talk) 14:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Better images of this event? Could you show them to me please? Yann (talk) 15:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

1) He said "better images of this age", not "better images of this event"

2) We would not feature sub-standard photographs for the only reason that they'd be the only ones of their event. That is Valued Image, not Featured Picture. Rama (talk) 17:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

•  Support - A good picture, there must be very few images of this quality of such an historic occasion. The technical quality of the image is not one hundred percent, but given its age and rarity (a freely licenced colour picture from this age), I definetely support.Mtaylor848 (talk) 15:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Quality is not very good (the sky is uneven). --Estrilda (talk) 20:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Strong support great historical value --George Chernilevsky (talk) 13:32, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

result: 12 support, 7 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured. Maedin\talk 11:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
