While a little snapshotty, given the government really didn't want this getting documented, it's as good as we're going to get. I think it's a decent documentary photo, even if its composition could be better.

    • No, because we would end up with less detail and sharpness. The best way to do this would be to find another copy of the image and scan it physically. Unfortunately, the only one on ebay right now has been marked for cropping and would not scan properly. (As an aside... I thought I recognized this image - I uploaded the original crop years ago).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

      @Crisco 1492, I see then, thanks for clarifying that for me. Is there any chance it could pass, or would it be best to suspend this nom? MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 13:54, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• This is probably better as FP than the other one. But do we need two? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Charlesjsharp: Feel free to disagree - It's a matter of how you feel featured pictures should highlight subjects - but I'd say, given the other is the lead, and given this shows something different and specific, we can justify two. The alternative can lead to a situation where we don't get the extra work put in for any image other than the lead, and that's a situation I'd rather avoid. As such, I support.

From the coordinates of the photo, I assume you were staying at the Hacienda San Lucas, which is where my wife and I stayed as well. Choliamb (talk) 14:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • Indeed we were. I climbed inside the tiny children's play hut half way down the lawn and crouched in there waiting for the woodpecker to land on the stump.

Reason

Rather nice, free photo of the tennis player who broke the colour barrier. Since this was a photograph by a newspaper photographer, not high art, and hence we can presume it would have been intended to be cropped, I took the liberty of cleaning up the left edge a little more than I usually would to crop out that weird fringe-y pillar and deal with the distracting shadow.

I seem to remember reading that Gibson was a big pasta fan and liked to bring a couple of potted trees on tour with her so that she could enjoy fresh-picked fusilli whenever she wanted, although I can't find a source for that right now.

While it will not hold up to pixel peeping - the original is about 4 inches (10.5 cm) wide, and I'd say it looks pretty good up to about 4x original size. You can get it up to 8x or so; it won't look great at that point.

  I don't think the article being written by nominator is a problem, but the image is cut off on the right and has too much foreground. Perspective is fairly fixable, so I'd say it's about 80% of the way to what may be our first high school FP: There's a lot of good in the image. I'd suggest playing with angle to get the full building in, and then you may need to collaborate on a perspective adjustment and crop. It's a great image, just not quite at the top level, but I think you can do it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 13:22, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose as such. Agree with Adam above.

  @Charlesjsharp: For the era and this kind of print, I'd say it's in the normal range. Now, I have darkened it a bit from the faded original, and that did up the saturation slightly, which you could argue was fade correction, but could also argue for tweaking it back. To give a few examples of otfrom various museums, and using only originals, for comparison:

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

There's such a wide range that I don't think this is out of line. At the same time, there's such a wide range that tweaking the saturation down a bit (not to greyscale, but a little bit) wouldn't be out of line either.

Reason

A fairly iconic portrait of Charles Darwin. Great quality for 1868, and by a notable photographer

Articles in which this image appears

It's used in 25 articles, from Charles Darwin to Julia Margaret Cameron to History of speciation to List of University of Edinburgh medical people. The article on Darwin presents images in roughly date order, so this is a ways down, but it's the lead on numerous articles.

It's a nice Mathew Brady portrait, and vastly improves on what was there. A little zoomed-out for modern eyes, perhaps, but I am not screwing with a Mathew Brady image - I believe the arrangements were meant to imitate classic portrait painting.

  That's normal for film of the time. Have to take some account for photos that can't be retaken. I'm somewhat inclined to say it's a rather artistic framing.

Reason

These were the originators of the roles, so no real issues with it being a revival, and it's only about three years after the multi-year original run closed. Crop has been rightfully criticised at Commons FPC, but we can't go back and recrop it, and it does a good job at getting the feel of the play (a satire on æstheticism, much in the line of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience which opened shortly thereafter.

• Oppose The probable reason for cropping the feet off was explained at Commons FP, but it is a poor composition with the crop. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:14, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It is passing on Commons despite that. I like enough about it, and think it's valuable enough as a historic document to forgive the feet, but - let's be clear now that I said my piece - it's a valid reason to oppose. I might say why I think it's good despite the flaws, I might try to explain them, but I do try to be open about known flaws in my summary, and leave it up to the voters how they weigh things.

  I mean, it's at the period where there'd presumably need to be a copyright renewal. Can we check for that? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 20:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That would be doable as well, though I'm not sure how it would appear in the catalogues if it was renewed.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:16, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Crisco 1942: Well, check my work: I've searched 1968 1969 and 1970 - both halves of the year are included in the Internet Archive uploads - and then re-searched for Havana https://archive.org/details/catalogofco1968322711libr/page/238/mode/2up?q=Havana] [2] [3]. I suppose we could check further, but I'm seeing no evidence of renewal. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 17:03, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Crisco 1492: I also checked 1941 - nothing relevant for Havana, and for a Miranda search, nothing relevant again. The film itself, for comparison, does show up in the appropriate section of Dramatic works/Motion Pictures: 1941 1969

  Now, there's a possibility of bad OCR, but this seems reasonably convincing. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 17:14, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Eh... It's pretty low resolution. Artifact's fascinating, but the dull gradiant background and the image being just 1,181 pixels high (and that with a decent amount of empty foreground) is hard to get past. It's also a little JPEG-artifacty if you zoom in a bit. I did some tests, and (given the generated file size) it looks like the quality was set in the 75-80% range, which is a bit low.
