[[Image:Thatcher reviews troops (cropped).jpg|150px|thumb|right|Cropped from image #6]]'''Request:''' I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg]] to [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg]], and made that the main image, replacing [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg]]. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped. If nothing comes of this, it's okay, but it is worth a shot. My best, [[User:Happyme22|Happyme22]] ([[User_talk:Happyme22|talk]]) 03:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''Hi, I cropped the [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher Nancy Reagan with husbands behind.jpg|image 3]], and also removed President Ronald Reagan's shoulder from the image, but the source image quality wasn't good enough, and i don't know if it is good for article or not, i think the [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg|current image]] looks nice; Is there any better version available?

:Hi, thanks for your attempt. I still find it to be really cool how you completely removed President Reagan's shoulder from the image! Computers are truly amazing! I don't have a problem with the current image ([[:Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg|this one]]) but I was looking for one of her as Prime Minister. All of the images that were shown above are [http://www.margaretthatcher.org/multimedia/browse.asp?t=4 within this catalog], and direct links to them are on their pages. I'm not sure if there is any better version available, and I doubt it. Perhaps something could be done with [[:Image:Thatcher reviews troops.jpg|image number six]]?

::I did make another one (from image 6), but for this one i can not remove the background, do you think the crop should be more close?

:::Yes, perhaps that would look better. Then with the closer crop, maybe you could remove the man's face? Or is that not possible at all? Thanks for your hard work! --[[User:Happyme22|Happyme22]] ([[User_talk:Happyme22|talk]]) 23:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

::::It is possible to remove the men's face but it would not be a nice image, because the photo needs some background!!! I also think it wouldn't be appropriate if I cut the face of man in the right from center, I think the best thing to do is to cut image just from bottom of photo up to her first button.

::::Here it is, you can compare both images ([http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/3/3a/20081015125337%21Thatcher_reviews_troops_%28cropped%29.jpg old]) ([http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Thatcher_reviews_troops_%28cropped%29.jpg new]).

I listed all three images here so we can decide which one is better for article. '''[[User:Mmxx|<span style='color:#800000;background-color:#FFE4E1;'>&nbsp; ■ MMXX</span>]]'''^{[[User talk:Mmxx|''<span style='color: #800000;'>talk</span>'']]&nbsp;} 13:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I apologize for the late response. I think that despite our best efforts, the photo in the middle of Mrs. Thatcher at Reagan's funeral works best. It's good to know that there are other options, though. And I thank you so much MMXX for all of your help because you have really helped me and the article out! I'd say this is resolved.
