• Comment – Unfortunately, a very unbalanced composition. I would support only if the image would be cropped as seen in the previous low-res uploads (check the image page). Do that crop in hi-res, and I'll support because of the historical significance and the very high EV. --Janke | Talk 07:17, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did it myself, slightly less drastic crop than previous low-res versions. Support now. --Janke | Talk 07:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks Janke! I was pondering of doing it myself too (since it's a lot better composed this way), but with historical photos I'm always a bit wary. Manelolo (talk) 08:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – An interesting footnote to the history of WWII, which in Finland was complicated. Not too bad for a 73-year-old B&W, but I'm not sure there's enough readily accessible visual info for TFP. The crop helps some – could be more on left & bottom, maybe even a bit on top.

  • @Sca: Quite right. I cropped it a bit more from the left and bottom, but let the top stay as it is. Pinging Janke as well if he is ok/has further comments. Manelolo (talk) 16:01, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Quite OK - we seek consensus, right? --Janke | Talk 16:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support – Lookin' good. Sca (talk) 17:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - Looks fine to me... a few white spots that seem to be damage, but nothing too distracting.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:12, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Info - FYI, just created a full-fleshed article of the flag-raising if anyone wants to read the background and circumstances. Manelolo (talk) 08:21, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Low qiuality, even for that time, and not much historic. --PetarM (talk) 10:30, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support, another iconic flag-raising photo with historical import. Daniel Case (talk) 18:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - Supporting since there's now an article as per Manelolo chsh (talk) 01:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
