Question - Is there a good way to make the reproduction less blurry at full size? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2016 (UTC)- Support for historical value. Daniel Case (talk) 03:11, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Comment Thank you all for votes and comments. @Yann: I agree from a photographic perspective, but I really like the documentary value here and it also show how women during during World War II was replacing male workers. I am sure that we have more potential FP in our impressive Delano collection. @Ikan Kekek: I dont know but I think Delano had to compromise with the deep of field here, it was no fast colour film in 1943. It also very high resolution.--ArildV (talk) 20:00, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Thank you for your remarks. So I take it, you're saying that the blurriness is in the original photograph and not the fault of the reproduction? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:38, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment The center of the image is relatively sharp, while the foreground and the background is less sharp (at least partly due to, unavoidable, limited DOF). But if you talk about the overall sharpness, I'm not sure. Yann probably know much more than I do about images restoration.--ArildV (talk) 21:49, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- Any input on this, Yann? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
- I find the composition random (woman at right cut, the man(?) in the background left hidden), but this needed a very careful balance between aperture and speed. The place is probably not very well lit, the people may move, and it is not staged. What kind of restoration is needed? Yann (talk) 11:58, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Basically, all I wanted to know was whether the blurriness was in the original photograph or the fault of the reproduction. Since it was apparently original, I, too, will vote to Support featuring it, because of its historic importance and also its composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
