* '''Comment''' I'm going to commit blasphemy against Toni Frissell by suggesting that the photo be cropped for ENC purposes. [[User:Spikebrennan|Spikebrennan]] ([[User talk:Spikebrennan|talk]]) 15:00, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
**Same thought crossed my mind, but it couldn't be rotated without losing the context in the bottom of the door frame. Consider [[:File:Weeki Wachee spring 10079u.jpg|another FP]] by the same photographer. It looks like the composition is artistic intent, but if you'd like to propose an alternative please do.

* '''Support''' a great restoration, a relevant subject. [[User:GerardM|GerardM]] ([[User talk:GerardM|talk]]) 20:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. It poses an interesting question... why assume artistic intent for Toni Frissell, but not for an unknown photographer? I guess being by Toni Frissell is part of the encyclopedic value of this and that aspect would be compromised by cropping, while even if a (to our eyes) awkward composition was intentional on the part of an unknown photographer, that doesn't contribute much to EV.--[[User:Ragesoss|ragesoss]] ([[User talk:Ragesoss|talk]]) 17:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
**Look in close on the face and the rest of the compositional choices fall into place, at least to my eye. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 18:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
