Support Astonishing. Great enc value, really evocative capture. My only grumble is the outrageous file size.. I have a 2mb connection and I nearly gave up waiting for the big version. Do we really need >8Mb images here? mikaul17:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Not nearly anywhere close to Prokudin-Gorskii's best work. What's the featured pictures we have already by P-G? The emir and the monastery, right? ~ trialsanderrors18:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
SupportA very serene image. I like the alternative less, partly because of the wrtiting on the stone, and the white clothing. But they're both nice. --Janke | Talk09:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
weak oppose - doesn't illustrate the river as well as a modern image would. As for illustrating this photographic technique, fine, but we already have multiple FPs illustrating the technique. As for illustrating the photographer, both are pretty mediocre. Debivort09:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I want to disagree about illustrating the author. It doesn't clearly show him but I think the picture say something important about him and his work... so, while it may not be a portrait, its effect ends up illustrating him (as an idea) just as well. grenグレン03:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support original I really like this picture for some reason, although I'm not entirely sure why, but seems to be good quality for it's age (weak because I can see Debivorts point to some degree).Terri G16:37, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Reguardless of texture, resolution, etc. of the first two pictures, which I'm no expert in, I oppose the two pictures, because the man is only one small bit of a larger picture. These are supposed to be portraits of a man, not pictures of scenery with a man plopped right in. The first two present a duality of focus that shouldn't be in such pictures, with focus drawn to both the scenery and the person. Kevin23:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
