•  Support beautiful composition and lighting make up for a nice mood. Could be sharpened a bit I think. - Benh (talk) 08:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Vikoula5 (talk) 14:33, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Question I'm not a restoration guy, but as I mentioned, I thought it could be sharpened a bit. I also noticed the WB is a bit warm, so I've experimented a bit : [1]. Is it worth an upload, or have I pushed it too far? @Yann: - Benh (talk) 13:00, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
  • May be a bit warm, but yours is too cold. ;o) I uploaded a new version. Yann (talk) 14:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
  • I would prefer Benhs version, it shows much more nuanced colours. I actually think his version is still pretty warm in absolute terms, just not compared to the current version. — Julian H.^✈ 14:45, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
    • Propose an alternative? Yann (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Poco² 18:44, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Support Sorry, I accidentally deleted the tiff file I restored and worked on... so I had to complete the job from the jpeg I had. Hope it's still good enough. - Benh (talk) 08:23, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Its much better, I think @Yann: could simply overwrite original. --Mile (talk) 09:02, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Support As I said. — Julian H.^✈ 09:21, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Support per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment @Yann: , there's not much interest in it, but so far all votes say this is a better version. Shouldn't we overwrite, as Mile suggests? - Benh (talk) 22:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
  • I made a new version, closer to yours. If we go this far, we might as well desaturate completely: File:Chicago and Northwestern railroad locomotive shop fsac.1a34676u-BW.jpg. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:07, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
  • There was a sepia category for this picture, but this is not sepia. Also there already was a FP (I just discovered it now), File:JackDelanolocomotiveshop.jpg, but of lower resolution. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:25, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment @Yann: Désolé de te le demander, mais je vais être loin d'un ordinateur 2-3 jours (ouf!). À priori, cette version reste plus intéressante vu que personne n'a dit le contraire. Donc il faudrait vérifier lors de la promotion effective. D'ailleurs, ça n'est pas de la désaturation, mais un correction de balance des blancs vers le bleu. Au contraire j'ai bien saturé (tu le vois sur les parties orange-rouge). Je ne sais pas ce qu'en pense @Adam Cuerden: , il a l'air aussi de s'y connaître en restauration de vieilles photos. - Benh (talk) 07:46, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Justement, à mon avis, ta version est trop rouge. ;o) La couleur de la photo vient probablement de l'air saturé de poussières, non d'un tirage mal réglé. Yann (talk) 09:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
• @Adam Cuerden: , I'm going to be away for a few days, but since you are probably the restauration guy, think your input would be much appreciated on whether we should promote that alternative or the original nom. Thanks! - Benh (talk) 07:46, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

@Benh: I'd say original. Alt looks over-saturated and unnatural. Also, it's been horizontally stretched compared to height: ???.  Oppose Alt. I'm not always sure about Trialsanderrors' colour choices, but with Yann's tweaks, and having been to stockyards, it does look believable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:57, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
