From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Jahangir, as painted by Abu al-Hasan in 1617.

High encyclopaedic value and good resolution. The full painting, File:Jahangir - Abu al-Hasan.jpeg is used at Mughal Painting, and also may be a potential FP. This image would be in Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Paintings if promoted.

Would it be preferable to nominate the full painting ? I think the cropped version has a higher encyclopaedic value, because it provides a much better picture of Jahangir in preview. --Xijky (talk) 07:53, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure. What about putting both in the nomination and letting the reviewers pick? JJ Harrison (talk) 21:04, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Only issue is that I can't upload the full image at full resolution, due to the poor quality of my internet connection/computer. I tried, but my browser crashed. I can try again, but as of now the "full" version of the file isn't at such good resolution. --Xijky (talk) 21:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing to prevent you just giving this one a go then. JJ Harrison (talk) 20:18, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I need to wait for someone to second it, surely ? --Xijky (talk) 22:22, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you need to wait for a seconder, but I'll put my name down there anyway. I think this has a good chance of success. Apart from a little softness right in the corners, I don't see any quality issues. Personally I prefer the tighter view (not strictly a crop, as it's an independent photo). --Avenue (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid not. I think the cropped version is perhaps a more useful image of Jahangir, whereas the full version (which I am afraid I cannot upload in full resolution) is a better image to use in the context of Mughal art. In any case, the full version at the current resolution is still a reasonably good picture. --Xijky (talk) 16:43, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It came from Picture Peer Review. --Xijky (talk) 13:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
