Image credit

Although NASA images from the Space Shuttle and ISS programmes are all public domain, I feel it is in error to solely credit this image as the work of the Jonhson Space Center. The original NASA image is over 3000 pixels wide by 2000 pixels high, its colours are washed out and the quality is exceedingly poor. The version of the image used on the Wikipedia site is "ripped" straight from the oceandots.com website - it bears little resemblance to the original NASA image. I spent a long time processing this image to bring out its detail - a fact that should be noted as the image is not in its "original state" by any stretch of the imagination. Why not use the original? The image used here is the work of both NASA and myself. Just because there is no copyright restriction does not make it right that I should not be given partial credit. 81.155.37.104 00:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)DAK
