Oppose This is far too small, and must be a very low resolution scan of a print. Before anyone says that we must 'make allowances' for the age, bear in mind that the original image was taken on B&W film having an intrinsic resolution much higher than almost any modern-day digital camera. The age does not justify accepting such low technical quality. There must surely be a better scan out there somewhere. --MichaelMaggs 22:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Now we have a high resolution image. --MichaelMaggs 06:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support It looks slightly resized and the quality is questionable for 1945 but it is a very important and valuable shot that simply 'captures the moment' of the attack. The people cramming into the small space illustrate the horrors of war, imo. Freedom to share 10:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
