Comment – Question whether being a Weston photo makes this one interesting or informative. It's one of over a dozen pix in the Weston article. EV? – Sca (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I added a bit more about it to the Weston article, though there was already a fair amount there. Weston isn't really known for industrial photographs but this is probably his most important picture in that genre. blameless 02:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I've also added it to AK Steel, replacing two very poor photographs. blameless 02:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The original is a print [1] at MoMA. I am not sure about removing its tone. Otherwise it would be a support for me. Bammesk (talk) 02:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was printed from a black & white negative. We don't even know if the print was in sepia. In the 19th century, prints were done in sepia, but in 1922? I also proposing a sepia version. Yann (talk) 10:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1922? Very common. That said, why is the MOMA one subtle sepia and this one all-in on sepia? Adobe RGB to sRGB conversion error?Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 13:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the original print's tone is a flaw, or damage needing modification (FP criterion #8). Bammesk (talk) 15:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
