Weak oppose: Come to think of it, I prefer Enoch Powell 4. Crisper lines, less lint or whatever. The pose in the nomination is better, but it needs some cleaning (down-sampling, removal of extraneous hairs and whatever). Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:10, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have added Enoch Powell 4 as an alt. Sir Richardson (talk) 16:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More input needed - Which one is preferred? Also, please comment on the EV factor: the original is the lead image of a well-developed article. It would be difficult to promote the alt under the guise of EV, as it is only used at Rivers of Blood speech. Jujutacular talk 19:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
