Le Cid, Act 3, Scene 6 edit

Original - Act 3, Scene 6 (the ballet at the camp of le Cid) from Jules Massenet's Le Cid, as performed in the original production. From L'Illustration's coverage of the première.

Reason: While not quite as good as the Act 2, Scene 3 image a bit further down this page, I still think this is an excellent image of the premiere production of the opera, and the encyclopedic value makes up for some minor, but not really fixable, streaking in the sky.

Support: Shame about some of the discolouration and the streaking, but this is still good. I think it's worthy. Maedin\^talk 06:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I fixed as much as I could, but, well, there's some things that just cannot be readily fixed if they're in the original. I could make it a bit less yellow if that's desirable - the final colour adjustment is a bit of a compromise between several aspects. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's ok, the yellow is fine. Do you think it would make sense to put the date in the caption, though? Maedin\^talk 14:55, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that can safely be left to Howcheng's judgement, when this is ready to mainpage =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 18:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okey dokey, :-) Maedin\^talk 18:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
