Self-portrait of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii.
Early color photograph from Russia, created by Prokudin-Gorskii as part of his work to document the Russian Empire from 1909 to 1915.
 
Actual portrait (not nominated).
Reason
It is a beautiful picture. I think that its quality is very high for a picture taken so early.

  • Oppose Reguardless of texture, resolution, etc. of the first two pictures, which I'm no expert in, I oppose the two pictures, because the man is only one small bit of a larger picture. These are supposed to be portraits of a man, not pictures of scenery with a man plopped right in. The first two present a duality of focus that shouldn't be in such pictures, with focus drawn to both the scenery and the person. Kevin 23:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
