Coal tipple in Kenvir, Kentucky
Voting period ends on 28 Mar 2024  at 01:49:01 (UTC)
 * Reason:I'm renominating this image after it failed to reach quorum back in February. This is a high resolution and good quality photograph of Kenvir, Kentucky, a small community in the hills of Harlan County, Kentucky. The community is a coal camp that was founded by the Black Mountain Coal Company in 1919. You can see the company houses in the background.

 * Comment – I am leaning to oppose. There is too much perspective distortion and leaning of verticals. Usually I don't care about such things in historic images, but in this case, the distortion can be corrected (or improved) in an editing software. Bammesk (talk) 03:17, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Bammesk, I believe I've fixed the perspective. 🐱FatCat96🐱   Chat with Cat  04:08, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The perspective is better, but the sharpness is now worse, see for example the vertical grooves on the face of the buildings. I gave it a try as well Here. Yours is sharper though. I am neutral for now. I struck that part of my comment above. Bammesk (talk) 01:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Bammesk, I had a go trying to improve the sharpness. Check this image out and tell me what you think. Regards. 🐱FatCat96🐱   Chat with Cat  02:42, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it's a bit excessive. Check out the third version from the bottom Here, it has your username in the Comment column. I took your file here, I masked out the darker areas, then I applied very light sharpening. I prefer it. For all practical purposes it's your file, so if you approve of it, take it and copy it as yours (no need to credit me). Support either, but prefer this version.

 * Comment – At 132 words, target article is rather stumpy. – Sca (talk) 15:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Honestly, better a short but fully cited article than a long one with no citations. There's plenty for an FPC blurb. Support either Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 16:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose – this image is not very visually appealing and does not evidence much skill on the part of the photographer or photo printer. It does an adequate job of illustrating the subject, but by that standard almost every photograph should be "featured". I think that would undermine the concept of FP. –jacobolus (t) 19:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support – It represents the article, good EV therefore and size of the article is not a deal breaker IMO. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * an Alternate image was added to the nomination after you dropped your vote. Could you please update your vote to include or exclude the Alt? Bammesk (talk) 02:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm good with either. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
