Original – Photograph shows an Armenian woman and her children, Makarid (on her back) and Nuvart (standing next to her). In 1899, after the murder of her husband in the aftermath of the Armenian Massacres of 1894-1896, the family walked from their home in the Geghi region to Kharpert (Harput), eastern Anatolia (Turkey) seeking help from missionaries.

Reason: Very good EV. They are refugees from the Hamidian massacres. The photograph is from the 19th century and is very rare and valuable. It has gone through a series of touch ups. Proudbolsahye (talk) 07:25, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - As usual Centpacrr has done a good job with the major blemishes. However, there is still quite a bit of scratching and other distortions, which means this is not near the FP level yet (look at the mother's face, for instance; the whole of her chin is scratched, and her eyes are lost to the scratches). There seems to be some motion blur as well, though with children of that age I'm not surprised. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:58, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can have Centpacrr (talk · contribs) check the issues out. It really is up to him if he really wants to fix the minute details. Looks like a meticulous and tough job on his part. With that said, I thought the motion for the photograph fit the background and theme. They're refugees on the go searching for shelter in the end of the day. Anyhow, we'll see if more fixes will be made. If not, that's no problem with me. The photograph is still outstanding and very dramatic. Proudbolsahye (talk) 10:13, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice, but not FP level yet. Good enough for most online purposes, however. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:15, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
