*'''Comment''' if I may insert a minor comment here. I'm not involved in this discussion (I don't recall ever editing that article) but I have to say that if I were to describe the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Juan_Manuel_de_Rosas_by_Descalzi_oval.png image] Langus replaced I'd definitely use the word ''glow'' about his eyes. It looks a bit creepy actually. How about a middle ground solution? I propose the article uses a third image, also by the same painter ([[Cayetano Descalzi]]) but a bit less "I'm going to eat your soul if you stare too long at me". [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Juan_Manuel_de_Rosas.jpg Here's the image I'm talking about]. Regards.

::Gaba, the image you propose is the most widely known for Rosas, and was the image originally in the article (prior to Lecen including the unnatural image). However, Lecen claims that Rosas was blond. This is why I consider that the black-and-white image is the best middle-ground; Langus seems to think so as well. Added that the black-and-white image, with a few minor edits, could easily get a Featured Picture status.

::Personally, due to color and direction, I think Lecen's upload of Rosas at 37 would be an awesome image to have on the lead as well. For similar reasons, I think this image (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Delfim-pedroII-MHN.jpg]) would also be best in the Pedro II article.

::Color and direction do much to engage readers and draw them into the article.

::Cordiallly.--[[User:MarshalN20|<span style="color:maroon">'''MarshalN20'''</span>]] | [[User_talk:MarshalN20|^{<font color="Olive">'''T'''</font><font color="Silver">'''al'''</font><font color="Olive">'''k'''</font>}]] 17:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
