•  Neutral good documentation, but the image quality also looks like 1973 ... Maybe you could sharpen it a bit? --SehLax 14:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
•  Support - Great subject, great effect of degraded image quality (volunteer?) - Tvpm 15:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment The poor quality is the result of the fact that this picture is more than thirty years old. At that time I could not afford an expensive camera, and I used half-pictures to safe space on film. Three decades also have their effect on a dia. But I think this is not the point. I nominated this picture not because of its technical brilliance but due to its historical value and its display of oriental life. If it were made in 1873 instead of 1973 it would not even have colours - but so what? Of course someone could sharpen ist (I myself have no experience with photo-processing) but I think this would reduce its authenticity. --Roger McLassus 16:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
