Original - With her brother on her back a war weary Korean girl tiredly trudges by a stalled M-26 tank, at Haengju, Korea. June 9, 1951.
Reason
An interesting image of war refugees during the Korean War. I think its FP material, but then I have little if any luck with this venue so I'll leave it to the more qualified among you to determine its worth in technical terms.

  • Support as nominator --TomStar81 (Talk) 09:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional support Eye-catching, inimitable. Quite grainy however, any chance of denoising? Brandmeister t 21:35, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not sure, to be honest. I just nominate images I think can be FPs, but for the resolution of technical issues I'm totally dependent on others for opinions, assistance, etc. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:30, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not crazy about denoising film grain (I think it's fine to digitally eliminate noise which was digitally created in the first place). The thin, horizontal white lines, on the other hand, look to me like creases on the negative (dark creases, of course, render as white) and would absolutely be fair game to edit out. I don't have time tonight but will do this in day or so if someone else doesn't get to it first. Chick Bowen 04:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (currently). If this were cleaned up, per Chick Bowen, I would consider supporting. Still, I don't know how crazy I am about this level of quality from Korean War era. Jujutacular talk 03:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
