Comment This could use a good restoration. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree, the colors are obviously not correct and faded, so it does need restoration before we proceed, recommend it be Suspended until restoration. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 14:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just for future reference, how does that process work. Is there a seperate submission process for restoring an image? I have several that I think would fall in the same category. --Kumioko (talk) 14:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can bring them to the Image Lab and request it. Not sure how many restorationists there are there. I'd be willing to take whichever one you like the most and do some work on it. Restoration can be a long process, and I have my own that I'm working on now. wadester 16 15:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When looking for good FP candidates from the Toni Frissell collection, I had looked at this before and I came down on the side of not restoring/nominating it. I do think the photo is quite good in comparison to the other photos that are up at commons[1], and it's possible that this angle isn't possible today because of the area set off for visitors. I'm not sure. I'm not really sure exactly why I don't like the image - I guess it looks kind of artificial/staged in that the way they're standing doesn't really make sense - why is the guy on the outside of her, and not the inside? And you'd think they naturally would be facing toward the tomb rather than away from it... Their facial expressions are also kind of strange and unnatural. It's also a little odd to feature a historical photo that isn't showing something historical, though I suppose it might make sense if such an angle isn't possible today. Anyways a little food for thought. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
