  • Comment Something strange going on in the upper left, between the three gentleman and the "O" in "Opera". Makeemlighter (talk) 21:02, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The unedited original version from LOC consists of 32 squares. The seams between and other flaws have been cleaned up in this version. That faint horizontal band in the background on the left is also present in the original, so it is not a stitching error but something else. --KFP (contact | edits) 21:32, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very eye-catching. And very, very unusual for FPC; which is to say, it isn’t another f**king bird picture. Greg L (talk) 23:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • My bad :P. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • You know Greg L, you could always just scroll past the bird pictures like the rest of us who don't have any interest in them... Or even nominate more yourself of other subjects! Risky idea I know, but hey, sue me... gazhiley.co.uk 09:36, 13 January 2011 (UTC) [reply]
        • I do scroll past the birds. Go look; see if you can find one single vote or comment from me on our flock. JJ Harrison, below, has the right attitude: Bring on something else; anything else. Something new. Greg L (talk) 19:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The EV here derives not from its artistic value, but from its EV as an illustration of the opera. It belongs in Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Entertainment, surely? J Milburn (talk) 01:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Greg L though I'd hope for more nominations from other topics as the solution. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree. And I admire how you are such a good sport here, too. Keep up the good work; yours are always excellent pictures of birds (*sigh*). Greg L (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support fantastic picture. Interestingly, the moon has a face on it. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I love this. Great stuff. Booksworm Talk? 14:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support As per nom. SMasters (talk) 08:58, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Lovely eye catching poster that is also a great example of a nineteenth century poster and gives us a nice feel for late 1800s design aesthetic. Really like the smiling man in the moon. --Discott (talk) 12:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Fabulous scan. NauticaShades 13:48, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
