Hmm, the colours in the first version were IMHO better (more vivid) --SehLax 19:38, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the orignal looks more rich, the new one just looks overexposed. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 13:54, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Added another version with pretty much only rotation. I didn't work off the one I uploaded but off the original (higher res) so the adjustment may not be exactly the same. --fir0002 07:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A blimp is felled by the shockwave from a nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site, 1957.
  •  Nominate
- I think this is just a beautiful, surreal historical photograph, wonderfully composed. It shows an (unmanned) blimp which was felled by a nuclear test at the Nevada Test Site in 1957. The people to the right of the blimp give a sense of the scale. To me it resembles a post-apocalyptic Hindenberg, with a wonderful sense of symmetry, and is just a breathtaking image for reasons I don't claim to fully understand. Very high resolution original.

Merry Christmas to all voters, Brocken, Germany other color variant removed again because it was not regarded better than this

Merry Christmas to all voters, Brocken, Germany
I just added the other color variant to the voting page. The picture on the left comes quite close to the original slide, but I'm unsure about the effect of the picture on the right. At least one voter prefered the right one and others had trouble with the color of the left one. IMHO only one of these should stay in WikiMedia to not to blure the database with similar images.

Andreas Tille 07:29, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely not leaning - it's just a hill side. The trees are leaning in the direction of the wind which is often quite heavy on mount Brocken. For the color: What about reflection of the blue sky in the snow? What color would you expect in the shadow on a snowed landscape? Andreas Tille 20:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problem to also put the other picture in FPC, but what color whould you call the snow in the small parts that are in the shadow of the trees. IMHO it is quite similar to the color on this picture - and here most of the snow is in the shadow. Andreas Tille 12:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC) [reply]
I agree to Andreas Tille that this blue snow colour is right and natural. But I personally like the other one better because it's just not that blue. But that's maybe a matter of taste (sorry, I just invented this word ;-) --SehLax 16:52, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- created by user:Knutux, the source file is here: Image:LithuanianHistory.svg. It is an overview of history of Lithuania (from 1261 to present day) and thus is not too detailed.

It does look like it has too much green in it. I wouldn't question the colour if it was Canon or Nikon, but the Fuji has this particular problem, because the Super CCD has more green photocells than normal CCDs. ADSR6581 16:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't have much of a macro lens, and this is quite a crop off the original as it is. It's not quite 1:1, but I think the gain in quality from downsampling is worth slightly more background. 1:1 wouldn't be much more zoomed in anyway. --fir0002 06:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are features pictures in 800x600, so I think a crop of this image would still have enough resolution for a good quality. --che 18:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I may say, the scene itself was quite monochrome, even to the human eye. The reason is that bones don't have much colour! David.Monniaux 02:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Probably the camera's anti-shaking mechanism, which does well but cannot make miracles. The photo was taken without a flash in a dark museum room. You can of course diminish the blur by rescaling it down. :-) David.Monniaux 21:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Without the flash, heavy in-camrea noise reduction would also contribute to that effect. If you really want the additional support, I'll change my vote if it's scaled down a bit. ;-) —Pixel8 00:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a stylised older radio like this sort of looks a little bit like a modern compact digital camera... At least, that's what I first read at a first glance, I went "why is the visual domain so far right ?"; then I though "this is the definitely the domain of radio waves..."; and then I understood that this was actually a radio. Oh well, maybe I am weird :p Rama 12:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ohh... Maybe i the antenna is not very visible at the scale of the thumbs ... but in full page it seems ok? You do not think so? Nevertheless thanks for your comment, nothing weird in it ;-) Tatoute 21:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Things which are more typically "radio-like" would be
  • antenna
  • knob on the side
  • a grid on the loudspeaker
but frankly, it is quite all right :) Rama 13:54, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent suggestion (the knob on the side is present but too small i think)
I modified the picture (grid on the speaker, bigger knob), is the new version better? Tatoute 11:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see where Rama was going with this :), if you take out the antenna, it looks like one of the many new canon pocket camera models, but you pros probably never heard of anything other than SLRs :) --Spundun 05:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
