•  Support I love this image. There is some offset of the colours, but to me this just adds to the feeling of this image that is almost a century old. The girls are dressed colourfully, posing for a camera with straight faces. The wooden hut behind them is crooked. This gives me a great feeling of that time!--Konstable 00:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose - the people look too posed, about as wooden as the building - MPF 00:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I have noticed that they look posed. In my oppinion this just ads to the sense of a time long ago. If you look at other old photos you will see that they are also posing every time - there was no way to take a moving picture, and the subjects of the photographs weren't that familiar with the concept of a photo camera.--Konstable 08:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Also for the colour process you hade to take three photos. // Liftarn
• Hadn't noticed the age or realised the methodology when I made those comments. But having looked more, I still have to concur with Wikimol (below); I'd rather vote for the self-portrait than this one - MPF 00:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support If the image is almosta 100 yrs old, it is a "colored photograph" a B&W photo colored with transparent oil colors. The tone was given by the emulsion. However, that is irrelevant. The relevant part is that it is very valuable because the image itself is of good technical quality and it provides us with a window to the past, it is a social document and this is where its value resides, it provides us with a lot of information about the people/time/place.--Tomascastelazo 14:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, it is colour photograph. Read en:Prokudin-Gorskii for more info. --Wikimol 22:11, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support, a piece of history --che 22:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose - colour offset. All Prokudin-Gorskii photos are amazing because of technical & historical reasons. So.. feature them all? There are better PG photos (e.g. from portraits I like more this one ... just perfect. Or, from not yet featured, his self-portrait or a man holding a waterpipe). It seems to me his aim was absolute technical quality, which he generally achieved ... featuring exactly that photo which has technical problems? Nice feeling of old photo? Ughm, I guess Prokudin-Gorskii himself would oppose :-) --Wikimol 23:09, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support - Lerdsuwa 12:56, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support — the efforts to produce the image 100 years ago are amazing, this alone warrants FP status if there is a better technical photo nominated I would also support Gnangarra 14:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
•  Neutral -- the history part may be the upside, but featuring an image of that horrible quality just for historical reasons is questionable. -- Boereck 16:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question -- Boereck, what is your criteria of quality? Aesthetics change from times and places, but technically speaking of quality, considering the times this photo was made and the techniques used, what is your objection?
•  Strong support The fantastic composition of this image do offset the quality defaults. El ComandanteHasta ∞ 18:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
