•  Support INeverCry 18:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment I think it would be nice to add more details to the image description. The description should at least contain some information about the fact that the authenticity of the photo's subject has been disputed. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Information from serious sites does not give credence to the dispute, i.e. Getty, Musée d'Orsay. Actually even the version without the cannonballs would be a worthy FPC. Anyway, I added information mentioned on Getty. This is worth an article on its own, so here we are: en:Valley of the Shadow of Death (Roger Fenton). Regards, Yann (talk) 22:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Question - Do you think the original color was not an artistic choice? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:38, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
  • No. Sepia may be an artistic choice, but not the yellow tone. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
    • In that case, I  Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:38, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

* Support Came across this image a while ago; remarkable historical significance. Thought of nominating it myself. -- Thennicke (talk) 04:57, 21 April 2016 (UTC) * Support for historical reasons --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:57, 21 April 2016 (UTC) --

•  Support Great historical value. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:46, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose A larger, higher-resolution version appears to have become available on the Library of Congress site since the restoration. See http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2001698869/ This also likely avoids issues such as Ikan Kekek's. Shoulde probably ping the voters, so @Yann, Slaunger, Thennicke, Frank Schulenburg, Be..anyone, and INeverCry: Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Adam's point above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:25, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Adam --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose as above -- Thennicke (talk) 09:10, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination I will rework this from the LoC TIFF. Thanks for your comments and votes. Yann (talk) 11:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
