Ellen Terry

 * Reason:A portrait, which is rather different from many other 19th century faces. I abstained from restoration in this case because in my view it's generally better to show the actual condition of the photo rather than to patch it with fake pixels (especially when the image is not heavily damaged, which is the case).
 * Articles in which this image appears:Ellen Terry
 * FP category for this image:People/Entertainment
 * Creator:Julia Margaret Cameron
 * Support as nominator --Brandmeistertalk  22:08, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support both versions &mdash; A favorite historical figure of mine, and an excellent example of Cameron's skills at portraiture. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 23:45, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Question Really beautiful portrait, but should the image be cleaned up at least a little bit? I'm distracted by some of the more obvious marks or whiter pixels that can be easily removed without ruining too many pixels. Not sure much could be (or even should be) done about the unfortunate grainy areas, which don't appear to be original, so I'd think any touch-up should be conservative. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 05:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I can't tell for sure where it's natural and where there's a possible digitalization flaw (assuming Google Art's generally good reproductions, I'd say it's a merely natural ageing that contributes to EV). Anyway you may clean relevant parts. Brandmeistertalk  08:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Although scanned from a book and obviously inferior in most respects, this version Sadness, by Julia Margaret Cameron.jpg offers insight into what is original versus what represents a flaw in the particular print chosen for scanning by the Google Art Project. For instance, that does not appear to be an actual mole on the back of her hand. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 11:51, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I did a conservative spot removal in the actual photograph (not the frame), mainly removing bright pixels but also a few other spots; major damage wasn't touched. I also uploaded a PNG with transparent background (see image description page). Also removed the apparent flat mole on her hand as suggested by Stigmatella aurantiaca, although thanks to that suggestion, apparently she has a large freckle or something immediately above her blouse? – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 20:32, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Support restoration. I've always been struck by this photograph. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:50, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support alt as well. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 02:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
