Talk:Alejandro Rodríguez de Valcárcel

Infobox photo


The photography that I propose I consider to be better because it focuses on the person's face, without so many distractions (such as sharing a shot with three and a half other faces), and it has good quality.--Baprow (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The original is fine (and it is equally centered on the person too). At +200px the lack of quality of the photograph becomes apparent with that close crop. Anyways why did you botch the colours of the photograph? Old photographs usually have clear tones (and it's fine). Botching them with amateur photoshop skills does not improve anything. The effect on that man's forehead is ominous.--Asqueladd (talk) 13:41, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * In the original, Valcárcel appears surrounded by too many people. That is distracting. With the new photo, his face gains more prominence, without needing to clarify that he is next to someone. The quality of the photography is not in evidence with this close cut in any way, although I doubt that in these we will agree. And by the way, there is nothing "ominous".--Baprow (talk) 15:36, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "The quality of the photography is not in evidence with this close cut in any way, although I doubt that in these we will agree." Correct, I don't agree. You have not persuaded me. I suggest you to use a closer crop in other Wikipedia articles where the image does not need to be renderised with such size (tables and the likes). Not here. In that case, I may also suggest you: 1) to return the photo to its original colours; your photoshop "job" is a disservice to the photograph 2) to drop the pretense (or rather fixation) with a black & white approach in regard of image use across projects.--Asqueladd (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, we agree that we disagree. I will also ignore your ad hominem arguments and take your suggestion of a version with the previous tone. Let's see how it is.--Baprow (talk) 17:21, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
