Atlantis Shuttle in Transit


Well, Toby needed help with this process, so I'll fill in the proper info. Toby nominated this because he believes this to be an encyclopedic and well-taken picture. I admit that it has some quality issues, but nothing that can't be touched up. This image can be found in the following articles:
 * Space Shuttle
 * Space Shuttle Atlantis
 * Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
 * Captive carry

This image was taken by Carla Thomas for NASA and is public domain.

Hope this helps, Toby! Sharkface217 19:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed I had issues setting this image up. I am slowly learning the process. Anyways thank you to everyone for your help and yes I find this picture worthy of FP because it is an informative/interesting picture and anyone who sees it does a definite double take. --Tobyw87 19:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Nominate and support. --Tobyw87 18:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not at all up to the quality of a featured picture. Although it is quite cool and quite encyclopedic, it's not FA quality. Sharkface217 19:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Very blurry and grainy in full size. --Janke | Talk 20:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Composition and enc are there in spadefuls, but image quality appears to have been left on the runway. --YFB ¿  01:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral - If this could be downsampled to a size where it can illustrate both aircraft clearly, I'll support. typhoon  chaser  09:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone with more photo editing skills should downsize this pic. The picture that you get when you just open it and not click on full screen is a higher resolution than many FPs. This is a very interesting picture and if someone would be willing to do the work it would be a great FP. It really captures the eye and would look great on the front page. --Tobyw87 09:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I realize the edit may be too small but I did what I could. It would be cool if someone with more skills took a crack at it.--Tobyw87 10:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Poor quality, cannot be salvaged to FP quality and artificial looking black lines around the rear of the aircrafts. -- antilived T 00:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I'm afraid that I don't think that any amount of editing skills can salvage this picture. Nautica Shad e  s  15:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
