Original – Posing before a sample of beatnik art are Miss Beatnik of 1959 contestants in Venice, California, August 27, 1959

Reason: Great quality, especially the faces of the four ladies in the front & the man with the cigarette. The artwork in the background gives it a surreal quality. By far the highest quality image in regards to Beatnik culture I can find anywhere on Wikipedia or Commons.

Oppose - Messy composition / person cut off / right edge of image visible / not in prominent position in articles / thus low EV. Not among Wiki's "best"... --Janke | Talk 14:11, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – This needs some restoration (the right edge, and some specks at full size). I support if the restoration is done. I am not bothered by the composition because it's a semi-historic photo. Bammesk (talk) 02:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I think the "messy" composition adds to its charm. I find it an incredible photo personally. Shame you guys aren't feeling it like I do. I think it's prominent in the "Hippie" article, easily the most interesting photo on that page.Michael0986 (talk) 07:01, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with you, but I'll wait for Adam's cleaned-up version. – Choliamb (talk) 12:42, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not doing well on Commons. It is a good idea to submit to FP on Commons before here (for most images) Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:29, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not particularly, hah. I would appreciate it if someone would do a restoration for it. It has so much going on, I love the mystery of it. Michael0986 (talk) 02:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll restore it Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 13:51, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated Adam. Michael0986 (talk) 00:30, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This can be renominated after Adam does the restoration. Bammesk (talk) 14:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
