[edit] Space Shuttle Columbia launching
Promoted back in 2004. Grainy, and looks like it went through some kind of dithering filter. Redquark 03:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- Comment This is the first image of the first shuttle mission. Considering the date (1981) and historical value of it, it deserves FP statue. BUT, the graininess is way too much. I tried to reduce it with Photoshop but it caused other problems (such as blur on some very grainy parts). Maybe Fir can give it a try. I might retry. Although there is much better images of shuttle launch of course, this one has a historical importance though. Arad 02:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep Either with preference for replacement with my edit (Edit 1) --Fir0002 05:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, but replace with edit 1 - Well done, Fir!. --Janke | Talk 07:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep edit 1. It's still very grainy, and the exhaust is blown. But very historically significant.--HereToHelp 23:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- weak Oppose replacement with edit, the edit blurred out a lot of detail while trying to get rid of the grain--the top of the shuttle looks shiny smooth and the lettering on the wing is blurry. It reminds me of a hyper-retouched model with shiny smooth skin. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - it is simply a picture of a highly important moment in the history of mankind Booksworm Talk to me! 15:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Edit 1, as the editing is definately an improvement. --RandomOrca2 23:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
