Support I was thrilled when I saw that we have such a good photo of Freddie Mercury on Commons. The image is noisy, but it's a rock concert picture so I find some noise quite normal. Also, the image is much larger than required, and in minimum and print size the noise is not so visible. -- Lošmi (talk) 04:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Poor quality. —kallerna™ 09:30, 13 September 2009 (UTC)- Support the fact that it was taken at a rock concert in 1978 account for the noise, and while a bit more denoising wouldn't hurt, I think this is about the best we can hope for when it comes to finding a free picture of this subject.

- Comment Given that this was taken on high iso film (one assumes) the almost 20 megapixel size seems completely unjustifiable. I would suggest with downsampling to around 5-6Mpx and a bit of a selective denoise and sharpen it would scrub up quite well. Flying Freddy (talk) 07:12, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
