Current FP Confederate dead behind the stone wall of Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg, Virginia, killed during the Battle of Fredericksburg Dec 13, 1862. Photographed by Capt. Andrew J. Russell.
 
Edit 1 Restore as much as possible, correct fading towards lower left, crop away irreparable ares.
Reason
Not just low resolution (367KB), but ugly. Close call on the original promotion, arguably promoted due to uncertainty over the quality of other surviving material. Moving, but really not restorable.

  • Comment I have created Edit 1 here, still working on it but so you see where I am heading. Repair as much as possible, crop the irreparable bits, leaving the entire soldier lower left unlike the opposed edit in the original nom, correct fading.Mfield (talk) 01:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The editing you've done already in Edit 1 is quite good. This photograph has great EV so thanks for salvaging it. -- AJ24 (talk) 17:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Delist, I was the original nominator for the photo, and I restate, due to the rarity and scope of the photograph... and the sheer encyclopedic value it provides, it certainly deserves its place as an FA. Communist47 (talk) 23:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace and delist note the changed order instead of saying delist and replace, this should not be delisted if it's not replaced pretty much per Communist47's argument that this is definitely falls under the historical image part of the guidelines.
