• Support – tells a story in 1966 flood of the Arno. Can use a bit of spot removal, touchup. Bammesk (talk) 03:34, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Prefer Alt1, Adam there is a horizontal line at x,y=(4045,345), also may be? a bright spot at (130,728). Bammesk (talk) 01:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

@Bammesk: Should be fixed, as well as a couple minor things I spotted. Tell me if you spot anything else. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 05:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• I'm not sure how much it'll do, given the grain size. I mean, I think its historic merit makes up for it, but, other than cropping out the edges, I don't see much use. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.9% of all FPs} 06:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

• There are some obvious dust and hair spots in the darker background areas that are a little distracting. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

• Weak support. Decent although not excellent image quality and dubious composition, but I think the EV and interesting subject matter is enough to make up for that. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Support Alt1. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:58, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I've done a restoration, and fixed the misspelt (restauration?), non-descriptive filename while I was at it.
