Original - Big (right) and Small are the two main characters of Big & Small, a puppet-based comedy show aimed at preschool children. Both characters are voiced by comedian
Lenny Henry.Edit 1 - Minor levels adjustment, with very slight desaturation (it's often necessary to reduce saturation a bit after a tweak, as the colours can come out overly bright). Some minor cleanup of background, due to limitations of JPEGs when adjustments are done. (see discussion).
Reason
A rather charismatic picture showing the two main characters from an award-winning television programme aimed at preschool children. Not the kind of shot we see very often at all as a free image. I appreciate that this is at the lower end of our size requirements, but I do not feel that it detracts from the encyclopedic value.
Comment, I think we could use to know more about this image. Is it a screencap from the show? If so, was this in a year when they show was not playing in 1080i. I ask because I would like to support this since it's important to get freely licensed commercial material but, if this is a publicity shot then this is probably not high enough resolution to warrant support.

I believe this is a publicity shot (note we have a photographer name), and I'm afraid I can't really comment on the technicalities.

Support I think in terms of a typical scene, this is about as good as can be. It took me a while to get used to the fact that Small looks more yellow in photographs, and more orange in the series - cf.
(sorry, 4MB image). I agree that the resolution is borderline, but can't imagine what additional EV would be gained with a bigger image.

Support: No problem with the size, agree with PLW. This type of image rarely comes our way and the quality is good. Although they've cooked the spaghetti a little al dente, ;-)

The tablecloth - which appears to be a fairly standard red-and-white checked tablecloth, is, in fact, red and yellow in this image, and there's a yellow cast over everything. I've uploaded an edit; Support edit. I'd appreciate a little time being allowed to allow the edit to be considered. Also seems nearer to images in

Just to note, I've made some very minor additional tweaks to the edit. Basically, when you edit a JPEG, the main figures are usually fine, but the areas with very little detail were super-compressed by the JPEG algorithm, and this can show a lot more clearly when you tweak the levels. Luckily, since there's very little detail in those areas, it's pretty easy to fix. Shoemaker's Holidaytalk03:22, 16 March 2010 (UTC)reply
