The Painted Desert of Arizona

 * Reason:A wonderfully colorful air photo of the Painted Desert. By memory, this really is what the Painted Desert looks like, out the airliner window, on a clear day (likely after a rain). The speckles on the mesa-top are vegetation, probably dwarf junipers. Amazingly good quality, for shooting through a triple-pane plastic airliner window. This is the best air photo I've seen of the Painted Desert.

 * Oppose Poor contrast, white balance needs adjustment, not particularly sharp, blown highlights, also seems to be colour fringing (probably as a result of the window) Noodle snacks (talk) 08:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
