- Support I've never seen it before. It has its own article, and has a very interesting pose. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 23:34, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I think the description needs to note this is scanned from a Cole Weston print - in art photography my understanding is that the making of the print is part of the process (especially when it involves manual dodging and burning, as in this case), and Edward Weston also made prints of this negative before authorising his son Cole to make further prints. I'm also a little confused about the sourcing - the image page gives three URLs, which as far as I can see are for different prints of the image (thought all by Cole Weston), and isn't clear which one is actually the image uploaded.

- Support Excellent use of light, notable on its own right. @TSP, I've been able to confirm that this is from the Rago Arts link based on resolution pre- and post-crop. Yann, I'd also recommend making the source clearer, since it appears the other two sources are being used for supplemental information on the photograph/print. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Most if not all of of Edward Weston's pictures available on the Internet, are prints made by his son. I understand that very few prints were made by Edward Weston himself. Information added. Yann (talk) 15:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
