  • Ok. The pictures of my 3MP-Cam are nearly all bigger than 1.2MB and I expected a larger file for an image with that resolution. Perhaps that "ACD Systems"-Sotware (see EXIF) changed something there. Anyway, I'll change to Support, cause I really like the motive :) --Boris23 讨论 16:31, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right, The picture was 3MB right out of the camera, and it lost weight after contrast correction. However, the sky looks exactly the same on the original picture. It is mostly due to the sensitivity used (ISO 800 here). Deelight 18:20, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I just think it's incredible that you can discern that amount of detail from an MRI. That's rather impressive to me... but then again maybe that's why I'm in this field: because this stuff impresses me. Semiconscious (talk · home) 00:55, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Probably, but aren't there better MRI images ? IIRC I had seen very sharp MRI videos. Animations extracted from the Visible Human are even more impressive. Dake 13:54, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The "Trinity" test, July 1945.
  •  Nominate
One of the only color photographs of the first atomic bomb explosion, the Trinity test of July 16, 1945. Very hi-res photo, to the point where you can see the limitations of both the color photography of the day, much less one where the lighting was extraordinarily problematic (to say the least). Still, I think it adds a certain amount of atmosphere and character to this historic shot, though I could understand if people saw it only as a defect. I also like that it is a bit off-center; I think it makes it a far more "artistic" shot than the more clinical full-on shots (i.e. Image:Trinity explosion.jpg, which bores me to tears). Fastfission 16:10, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nicer in what sense? I nominated this one specifically because it was artistic -- it reflects a time when the atomic bomb was a mystical new thing, rather than something which had been tested a thousand times around the world. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. --Fastfission 02:29, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Fastfission... sorry i don't find it that informative has you found. Maybe you know much more than me. But for a common eye, this pic doesnt say a lot. --PedroPVZ 00:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did not changed the colors of the Kodak Photo CD scan and the original slide is actually that blue. I do not plan to change the colors. BTW, there are two reasons for the blue color: 1.

You are right. I uploaded the image on a computer with an obviousely to bright monitor. When I looked at it on other boxes I know what you mean and adjusted brightness now a bit. (I do not expect different votes now, but enhancing the image is always important not only for featured image candidates.) Andreas Tille 06:29, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You are perfectly all right that I used a bad lense. It was my first SLR with a cheap consumer lens. I upgraded this stuff over the years. And yes, the critics did some education that personal impressions have a big influence. I have no problem in learning this (and I continue to like this image anyway ;-)) ).
