Support World-famous photo of important historical event. 1963 World Press Photo of the Year winner. Creator won the Pulitzer Prize the next year. Quality is decent as well, in my opinion. I would consider this to already be a "featured picture" outside Commons. -- Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 07:19, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added a denoise version of this picture here --The Photographer 18:14, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Wow! I would agree to overload the original. What do you think? Yann (talk) 19:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am not sure how work the analogic "noise", maybe there is information there and We need the opinion of a expert here. --The Photographer 19:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Impressive. I'm not familiar with the convention on this, but I would agree to overwrite the original as well. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 19:32, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think the photo as is is fine, but I see no harm in using the denoised version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Why anyone would want to "denoise" film grain from an authentic, historical photograph, one depicting an iconic moment in history where smooth digital did not exist, is baffling. KennyOMG (talk) 04:39, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Good point. Users probably expect to see the original image, minus any errors introduced in scanning. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 05:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Me too think so. It is better not to alter historically important works. J e e 05:55, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: This specific photo didn't win 1963 World Press Photo of the year, a similar photo by the same photographer did. But I don't think it makes much difference. In fact, I think the one we have on Commons is better. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 22:47, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is this image that has been included in all the Life and similarly styled coffee-table photography books for years. Daniel Case (talk) 02:00, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
