• Comment You've gone for quite a faded paper colour there. I suspect you had a reason for that, but what is it? I would still be curious about a version where the light-coloured smoke is proper white (and other tones adjusted accordingly). Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 13:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Well, it's certainly less faded looking than the original :P I wanted to be conservative with the adjustment is all. I uploaded the TIF, so if you want to make an edit, go for it. Jujutacular  ^talk 15:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC) reply

• Support edit but I cannot say I am happy with the original caption. Why is it "Death of.." since it is not too obvious that the guy is going to die? Nergaal ( talk) 21:27, 17 October 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Reynolds died from falling off of his horse, which is what this is depicting. This happened before the actual battle took place. Jujutacular  ^talk 00:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC) reply
    • His article says he was shot in the back of the head or neck, before falling from his horse, and died almost instantly. -- Avenue ( talk) 01:18, 18 October 2010 (UTC) reply
      • I guessed it was something like that. The image doesn't clearly imply that, but the caption is ok in clarifying that. Nergaal ( talk) 03:17, 18 October 2010 (UTC) reply
