Oppose Sorry (I am aware of that it may be some kind of overthinking behind my vote) but I have some problem with the images. I have no doubt that it is some EV in Curtis's photos. But it is an excellent portrait? It is a portrait at all? I do not think so, its not about her. Its more about showing that a Qahatika women looks like. And it is a very old-fashioned, exoticist way of portraying people. It's as naive as trying to show that a german male really looks like. In other words; as a portrait (not very good, especially because the photographer is not interested in her); scientific value (doubtful, naive approach and not particularly useable crop), compared with contemporary images (I don't know); wow (absolutely no wow for me).--ArildV (talk) 17:54, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I prefer the "alternative", which actually is a portrait, in that the woman is facing the camera. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:27, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Arild. No wow. The linked alternative isn't much better. These don't begin to do this girl justice; the same can be said of most of Edward Sheriff Curtis's images, which are usually more documentary than artistic. INeverCry 20:19, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Have to agree that it isn't a great portrait and the most slender of DoF doesn't help. -- Colin (talk) 23:05, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
