Support—very good restoration; additional details in the description would be welcome however. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I think the original (untouched version) with subtle tones looks better to me.--Caspian blue 22:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Ooh, I love Roberts, and this looks great. Have a few of my own - Roberts is one of the best documenters of (broadly speaking) Arabia in the 19th century, so pretty much all his work is worth featuring. Two tiny points: The blue-yellow balance seems a little too blue, and I'd be inclined to make it a little brighter - Roberts tends towards pastels in the sky and backgrounds.

Support interesting and encyclopedic. The colors in the restoration really pop out, especially the blues and the reds, which are hard to see in a small version. Ottava Rima (talk) 00:26, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
