Info created & uploaded by Hanan epstein - nominated by Tomer T -- Tomer T (talk) 20:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is the room where David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, lived in its later years. In 1953 he quit the role of Prime Minister and moved to Sde Boker in the Negev, and encouraged the people of Israel to move and to settle the Negev and the periphery of the country in general. Before dying he asked that his house in Sde Boker will be reserved and serve as a museum, Ben-Gurion's Hut. The museum, and this picture in particular, demonstrates the famous simpilicty in which Ben-Gurion lived, which is a complete contrary to the luxury life many of the Israeli policians have now. -- Tomer T (talk) 20:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I asked the picture to be moved to an English name, but this request was declined. Tomer T (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I do not see the file name as a problem at all. File names can be in any language and character set. Its main purpose is to be meaningful (Google translates to 'The room of David Ben-Gurion in Sde Boker hut') and serve as a unique identifier. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Needs perspective correction at least. EV is very high certainly but I fail to see something special in the image, without knowing the room I think a more interesting composition (more depth) should have been possible. --Kreuz schnabel 21:06, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I like the very simplistic interior and the green colors a lot. It is a refreshing topic. As a cultural ignorant I did not know about Ben-Gurion, and I agree it is remarkable life-style for a former Prime and Defense minister. So I learned a lot by seeing it, as it triggered me to read about it, thus fulfilling its educational value purpose. There are some not so good technical aspects abut the image. As a minimum I think it needs to be rotated such that the corner line behind the bed is vertical. Furter improvements on the perspective are also adviceable - it looks weird at the cropped windows. Also quite some noise, but I think reasonable given the interior shot with no flash. There is also quite visible CA at the edges. Not thaat important, but probably correctable, espececially if the creator has the raw file. I improved the categorization and added an English description to the file page. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support This picture illustrates what I expect from a FP in photography. It's amazing, it fascinates me and makes me think. Technical considerations are nothing. we lost the idea of what may be an FP image.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:42, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support as it is per Archaeodontosaurus. Any "corrections" to the perspective would probably do more harm than good, as they would require a significant amout of cropping afterwards. --El Grafo (talk) 12:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Archaeo is convincing ! and he is right.--Jebulon (talk) 20:39, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative version edit

Info I just wanted to get a try, and I think the result deserves your wise opinions, dear colleagues. Yes, there is a loss of informations, but actually not so important that we were afraid of. Not so bad and better quality-wise IMO, and there is no treason of the will of the photographer, I hope. It could be perceived as an improvement. Anyway, this is an "alternative" in your choice. The simplicity of Ben Gourion's end of life is still well shown here. Thanks for attention. As for me, I support both.--Jebulon (talk) 14:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per above.--Jebulon (talk) 14:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm in on this one. Thanks for the edit, Jebulon -- Slaunger (talk) 14:19, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The tighter crop makes it more impressive to me. --Kreuz schnabel 21:44, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Prefer this. J e e 06:01, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I clearly prefer this one. --Cayambe (talk) 09:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Not as bad as I had suspected. Maybe it's just my imagination but the chair seems to have suffered a tiny little bit from the manipulation. I still prefer the wider crop. --El Grafo (talk) 12:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)t[reply]
