Wikipedia:Picture peer review/wwii woman worker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Female aircraft worker checking assemblies in Burbank, California during World War II.

Good encyclopedic value, and beautiful picture--love that her red lipstick matches her red tool. Also love the contrast between her blouse and the armband/leather gloves. A nice complement to the Rosie the Riveter poster at FPC now. Background/hair might be considered too dark, but I like it because it highlights her paleness and delicate features.

Comments:

  • What's the blue spot above her head? It's a bit odd and distracting in the full version. I do think you're going to have trouble with the mostly-black composition at featured picture candidates, but I agree with you, it's really striking. Enuja 00:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As above, but no UFO above her head
  • Support either - I added a version without the blue spot. --TotoBaggins 18:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support second image: in the first image, the first thing that my eyes go to is the dot above her head, which distracts from the main subject, but that is remedied in the alternative image, so I support that one. It's a great photograph about women workers of WWII. --AutoGyro 04:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
