  •  Comment Nominated so that it can be compared to the original picture in MVR. --Eusebius (talk) 09:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question In what manner do you, Mohammad, think this image illustrates the scope well? I see a dusty road, some trees and a landscape. Are there any characteristics in the images which are specific to the Mikumi National Park (as compared to other national parks)? I am not asking to be rude, I would just like to be enlightened such that I can provide a more qualified review. -- Slaunger (talk) 21:08, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Other National Parks have more green vegetation compared to this one. Also, at the midground, there are mountainous ranges, probably the Uluguru Mountains which surround the park together with the Udzungwa mountains which are a characteristic feature of the Mikumi National Park due to its geography.

  •  Support This one is much better than the other one. Mr. Mario (talk) 23:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The creator of the image states above that the original is a more true representation of the colour at the scene. I think we should go for the most faithful representation, even if the colors are a more washed out. It seem like that is how it really looks. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:32, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Since we have all agreed that one version of this image has value, what is left is to agree upon the one with most encyclopedic value. IMO as the author of the image, I support the original version as being the most accurate depiction. Muhammad 17:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - I prefer this one, as the washed-out colours of the original are probably the result of a slight overexposure. Anyway, the colours of this one were not directly manipulated, only the overall contrast was slightly adjusted. As for "the true representation of the colour at the scene", that is much less objective that it seems. Depends, among several other things, on the time of the day, the transparency of the atmosphere, the place of the sun relative to the camera and ... the eyes of the observer.
