- Support Another moving picture of the Dust Bowl. We don't have FP of children from that period yet. -- Yann (talk) 09:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Moving but very low quality. Grainy and Overprocessed compared to the original that is showing much more nuances in the shades -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin: I uploaded a new version which should address at least part of your concerns: denoised, more light... Please tell me what do you think. Yann (talk) 10:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification. Still overprocessed in my view. Just a different processing, but the same kind of modification, with excessive contrasts. The shades in gray scale are not original. More worryingly, this format is not faithful to the author's choice. While the original photograph was almost a square, here it is a rectangle. And when the author decided to grant a large space below the feet, as well as an infinity sky (giving the impression that the child is small in the environment), here the current crop seems to be altering this management of the space. There was also an eye-catching object at the left, like a dark shadow, that has been totally suppressed, for whatever reason I can't support -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, there is less contrast here than in the original, not more. Yann (talk) 12:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Very honestly, the dark grays in the original are black, and the light grays white. Which means that the contrasts have increased. Moreover, the derivative seems upscaled, as part of the resolution -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, the dark grays are... dark grays, and the light grays are... light grays, which means a decreased contrast. And there is nothing upscaled. Yann (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- When superimposing the original TIFF and this derivative JPG on Photoshop, the derivative version appears bigger in size. Which is weird, since the source indicated on the page is unique, with a specific resolution. At least it's not clear where the larger resolution comes from, if it exists. Concerning the shades, I mean there's a difference between the original and this version. The original nuances appear richer and more subtle to me. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I uploaded the original JPEG below: no crop and no contrast adjustment. IMO the version above is better, but we will see... Yann (talk) 14:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per Basile. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:55, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral The alternative version is better IMO, and it keeps more historical value as it is. --LexKurochkin (talk) 18:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose alt version is better Chepry (talk) 10:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Alternative[edit]
- Info Original: no crop and no contrast adjustment. Yann (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Although there's some natural vignetting, this version is more authentic in my view, true to the author's capture. Perhaps a FP -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
