Shuttle Carrier Aircraft


I found this very striking image of a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft carrying Space Shuttle Atlantis, with a beautiful background. The original image came from Wikimedia Commons. I edited it a little and resulted with the current image. The photo was taken on September 1, 1998 by Carla Thomas for NASA. It is image number EC-98-44740-2, specifically GPN-2000-000183.jpg. Dbenbenn from Wikimedia Commons uploaded this image. (See Dbenbenn's Wikipedia user page.)

 * Oppose - Seriously poor quality.--Deglr6328 05:25, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose will reconsider if a sharper version is available - this is awful in full-size. --Janke | Talk 06:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol possible vote.svg|15px|Comment]] Comment Well the image is from 1998. I uploaded a slightly improved version. Alvinrune TALK 21:15, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually you've made the image worse in my opinion. I don't see any improvements other than the image is smaller. However, if you look at the side of the 747, the edit has a white patch that does not blend in well. What exactly did you do? Its usually good etiquette to comment on what exactly you've done to 'improve' the image when you upload an edit. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 01:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose and I don't think that it can really be recovered with that existing image. The quality is just too low. You can't blame it on being from 1988. Its a bad scan, most likely, but could also be due to bad image processing somewhere along the line. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 01:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Sorry, just too poor quality. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 02:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Great image! It's just stunning to look at. Quality isn't even bad. Maybe the sky is a little grainy, but all of you with 13MP cameras, go take a better one if you can! -- J @  red  [T]/[+ ] 17:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral Although it's a great picture as far as composition goes, it is rather poor quality (grainy).--Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 04:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I love the composition of this image, but the sky is a bit grainy. -- Snailwalker | talk 14:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I like the image, but like Snailwalker said, the image quality lets it down.--Thermos 16:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Try to take that photo well in any case - quality isn't all that bad.Kingfisherswift 19:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Great image, but the quality is too poor in my opinion. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 22:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
