- Oppose Classic photo, but dust storm images in the dust bowl article have much more EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment – It has EV, for the era, in displaying the side effects in Great bison belt#Euro-colonial effects. @Yann: there is 'retouched template' plus a 'compressed template' on the file page, so is this a contrast adjusted version of the original Here? If yes, then why the heavy adjustment? Or is this a direct scan of an old print Here? If it's a direct scan (unadjusted) of an old print or negative, then I support.

- It is not made from the positive, but it seems the levels were adjusted to match it. Yann (talk) 16:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yann, I did a search and found This print, the link includes both sides. It looks like an authentic print. It matches the negative. I don't quite understand the darker version, the nom version, it looks like a night time (or evening) photo. I wonder whether the darker nom version was the dominant version published (or used) at the time. The lighter version (the negative) looks more realistic. But if the darker version was the dominant print at the time, then Ok, I would support it. Bammesk (talk) 04:08, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
