•   Comment This isn't actually a print made by Weston himself, but by his son Cole (that's why the print is so cheap on Southeby's; an original by the photographer would go for far more that $5–7K). Why's that even important? Because in the analogue age, prints might look slightly different depending on how they were treated during the printing process. I'd be ok if the image description got changed (both here and on Wikipedia). The current way we're presenting this as a work by Edward Weston is not entirely correct. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:17, 14 January 2023 (UTC) P.S. I'm also not so sure about the "removal of dust spots" performed by the uploader unless we can confirm that the dust spots aren't on the print. P.P.S. And, yes the photo itself is great – I've been an admirer of Edward Weston for years now

•  Comment Well, Weston used a 8×10″ view camera, therefore the aperture must go to much higher numbers than on our small cameras. --Aristeas (talk) 08:32, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
