Oppose Sorry, but this doesn't seem to me to have been exceptional even at the time is was taken, neither technically nor from an artistic perspective. --Micha (talk) 22:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- Understandable, but I can't find any other image on Wikipedia or Commons that captures this particular movement as clearly as this, it's exceptional for Wikipedia. Michael0986 (talk) 07:12, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose As for the quality, at least the spots should be removed. And "created by ..." is not correct. --Palauenc05 (talk) 03:15, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Comment Thanks Michael0986 and Aristeas for fixing the gallery link. However, the quality of this reproduction is far below the standard, it would need a lot of restoration. That no better specimen can be found in Wikipedia, may be a criterion for VI, but it doesn't play any role here in FP. --Palauenc05 (talk) 07:43, 30 June 2023 (UTC)- Comment IMHO this is not a great photograph, but a very interesting one and a valuable document of its time. So it would be a good featured picture candidate if somebody would do a digital restauration with similar care and caution as Adam Cuerden does this. --Aristeas (talk) 07:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment If anyone is willing to do a digital restoration for it, I would be grateful. It's a fascinating photo, and not one people will forget once they see it, like many other commonplace FP images. Michael0986 (talk) 01:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Because it doesn't make any sense; the image is not FP material. Why is the man to the right not completely visible? 20 upper 11:25, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- ... because the frame ends there, you can see the black edge of the negative. 2001:14BA:A302:58FE:0:0:0:1 11:40, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I agree it needs restoration. Hopefully when restored, people will see its historical importance, and for being such a cool and unusual picture.Michael0986 (talk) 00:38, 2 July 2023 (UTC).
