332nd Fighter Group briefing, March 1945

  •  Info created by Toni Frissell (1907-1988) - uploaded by Goldsztajn - nominated by Goldsztajn -- Goldsztajn (talk) 05:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support One of the most historically renown photos depicting the role of African-Americans in United States military services. There is a low resolution version of this on commons, but found a high resolution version at the Library of Congress (which is the nominated version).--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose This image needs a bit of restoration attention, but after that, it will definitely be FP-worthy in my book. I'm opposing based only upon the condition of the image, not on its subject or technical merits... I thought of putting "neutral," but I'm putting "oppose" to make a stronger statement as to how this opportunity shouldn't be missed. This is a great candidate for restoration, and promoting an unrestored version would be a shame. Also, a  Prediction: At least one person will oppose this image based on the fact that every person in the image is cropped or occluded in some fashion. :) --Notyourbroom (talk) 06:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional  Oppose Exactly what Notyourbroom said. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 07:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've already done some spotting work on this, but will do (a lot) more.--Goldsztajn (talk) 08:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Might be an idea to withdraw the nomination until then. I look forward to supporting the finished version. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 09:09, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've spotted, despeckled and filtered for dust and scratches. Would appreciate second viewing. Thanks. --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:56, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry—I understand that you did a lot of spot-by-spot restoration, but you also did full-image post-processing, and that removed a lot of fine detail. (Look at hair before and after your changes, for example—it's significantly blurred.) The fact that the new version of the image has half the filesize as the old version also illustrates this loss of fine detail. I still can't quite support this for FP. --Notyourbroom (talk) 17:52, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I posted a different restored version of this picture a few weeks ago (also listed under Category:Toni Frissell). The condition of the print certainly warrants selective D&S filtering, but certain areas, like the shield on the cap of the pilot to the left are in focus and should be cleaned up manually. Also in Goldsztajn's version lot of the dust motes are still visible, so the blanket blurring didn't yield the expected result. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 16:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
