Reason

This is a good photo, that shows a lot of clear detail and is composed well. One of my favorites that I've taken. Clearly shows the decrease in water level ("bathtub rings"), as well as the topography of the region.

Benjamin Franklin Tilley

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Mar 2022 at 13:48:19 (UTC)

Reason

I place this at 1896-1901 by the rank insignia, so this seems a decent photo for its time, although it does fall into the period where lighting effects - extreme shadows and such - became popular. This is also the period where you're starting to exchange resolution for the speed, but that's not entirely a bad thing as it does have character and expression to it that a slow photo might not have. Editing history of the article (twice in all of 2021) shows little need to worry about waiting very long for it to settle in.

• Comment A little lightening on the left would improve it... --Janke | Talk 17:41, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • That feels inaccurate to the original image, especially as it's not something fixable with a basic exposure correction without causing changes in his uniform. The chiaroscuro effect is definitely something photographers were very much trying for in this era, and the clarity of the eye in the shadowed portion shows a very effective usage of it, even if it's out of fashion now. There are two known pictures of him. This is definitely the better one.

  • Or, more succinctly, "It's a style that was popular at the time, and, because it's as dark as parts of his uniform, there's no simple, non-destructive way to change the decision of the photographer."

      • But I suppose that we're both making valid points here. You think the face being better lit on the left would make a better photo. And, certainly it would by any modern standard. But given that dark navy-blue uniform is basically as dark as his face except where the wrinkles catch the bright lights, it's kind of hard to change the past, and I think that the dark shadow was the photographer's intent (and I'm also a bit worried because photographic grain can look odd if you don't handle adjustments pretty subtly). On the upside, I'd say as these things go, the detail in the dark portion is impressive. I've seen worse-photographed eyes in light.

  • @ User:Charlesjsharp You are wrong. It's the other way around, the one with writing was "edited" at the time the print was made - the area was dodged out during printing, to leave space for a hand-written note. Proof: put both images in their own tabs, switch between them. You can see that the one with the writing has the floor lightened, but the same floor details are there in both versions. Do it and you see why I support. --Janke | Talk 21:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I see what you mean, but can we be sure that there is no version with the original floorboards? That seems unlikely. Surely more likely that we have only seen retouched images. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think these are the original floorboards, since they are the same in both images, lightened and not. Back then, you could hardly "clone" photo details, and the one with writing is definitely from 1901 - dated by Tesla himself... ;-) --Janke | Talk 19:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

Ignoring the normal requirement that an image be in an article for a while since there were no images in the article before this. Lucked out on being able to find this. Restoration is... Heh. Really not much. Maybe a dozen spots, hence I'm not listing myself in the creator field on here
That said, I think it's a strong image. Decent resolution; very slightly soft focus, but that seems intentional, and, since he's most famous for being a Japanese-American who served in WWII despite the prejudice against Japanese-Americans at the time.

Nathan Francis Mossell

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Mar 2022 at 02:06:51 (UTC)

University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1882. He did post-graduate training at hospitals in Philadelphia and London. In 1888, he was the first black physician elected as member of the Philadelphia County Medical Society in Pennsylvania. He helped found the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School in West Philadelphia

in 1895, which he led as chief-of-staff and medical director until he retired in 1933.

Reason

There aren't many good photos of Mossell out there, as a glance at the image we were until recently using in his article will prove very quickly. While there was a fair bit of damage - the hand on the right being particularly bad - this image has a nice pose, a bit of personality, and is generally pretty good for 1882. Just over 2 inches wide originally, and still looks great zoomed in fairly far. It would, of course, be nice if we had the negative instead of a print - the paper fibres were probably the biggest problem here - but what's preserved is what's preserved in the end.
Unedited image here, if you want to compare.
Not sure he has the biggest firsts out there, but I'd say he's plenty interesting enough.

• Comment Strange perspective (overcorrected?) - the walls appear to be tilting outwards (actually so at the left side). --Janke | Talk 11:44, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes slightly on the far left. Although the vertical lines on the background buildings are fine. Bammesk (talk) 13:00, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – As Janke notes, vertical perspective much distorted. – Sca (talk) 12:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • However, that is fixable... at least to some degree. I could do it, if there's support for the idea. --Janke | Talk 12:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Janke, Sca is opposing the overall wide-angle perspective, not the vertical lines. I think he is conflating the two in writing his rationale. Bammesk (talk) 13:39, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The image is what it is – a distorted representation of reality. Whether it's due to the lens is irrelevant to the viewer. – Sca (talk) 13:10, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support either, prefer Alt 1. How about this little perspective change - a little magic done with Darktable? Note that I did not tilt the edges, since as Bammesk notes, the background buildings are straight - so maybe the arena walls really tilt a little outward? --Janke | Talk 13:27, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Janke, I cropped the sides. If you or anyone disagree, just revert. Bammesk (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks, I actually considered doing that myself. --Janke | Talk 08:36, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I prefer Alt 1, much better. [9] This is a big arena 133x100m in a congested area. [10] Bammesk (talk) 02:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• FWIW, the arena is elliptical and the camera is not on a line of symmetry, that's why the left side appears a bit larger than the right side. Bammesk (talk) 01:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Technically not good (FP criterion #1), excessive Chromatic aberration on the left tower and right-side trees. Oppose. Bammesk (talk) 13:11, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – Appears to have a bit of vertical perspective distortion. – Sca (talk) 13:07, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Tower on the left appears to bend inwards. Also not sure about the colour balance. Was the grass actually that green (might just be a really good IR filter)?©Geni (talk) 17:24, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support as nominator – TheFreeWorld (talk) 12:51, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – good composition but the sharpness isn't FP standard at full size (see the far right side for example). Bammesk (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment sharpness may simply be an issue of the shear volume of air its being viewed through. For an FP I think it needs slightly clearer information as to what exactly I'm looking at.©Geni (talk) 00:17, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
