Image:Aurora australis panorama.jpg, delisted[edit]

Short description NR version

  •  Info Vey seldom I propose an image to be delisted, but this one seems to be a clear error of judjement. The compression was so extreme that the sky looks like a mosaic of artifacts. This picture is a bad publicity to its author, one of our best creators. Initial nomination is here Alvesgaspar 20:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist --Alvesgaspar 20:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist As above. --Digon3 20:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, it was selected almost two years ago. And it still is a pretty impressive picture. I don't know if I had the nerve to create a pano of a sight this stunning. Anyways it was probably pushing the limits of his equipment so I wouldn't really call it bad publicity. The resolution (with respect to sharpness) is fairly low though. So I guess I'll go with a reluctant  Delist . I'd like to hear fir's stand on the delist though. Was he notified? --Dschwen 20:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist the original ack Dschwen.  Keep: Replace with the new version.-- Ram-Man 20:41, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong  Keep. Thanks first off to Dschwen for notifying me. And yes you're right it was really pushing my equipment and myself to get the images and I still rank this is one my best photographs! Far from bad publicity!! I've uploaded an edit with NR (I didn't have any noise reduction software back when I first uploaded the image) which should address issues of "extreme compression" aka noise. Personally I would really be sad to see this as being unworthy of FP status - this is the aurora! The holy grail of photography! --Fir0002 www 00:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist the original, re-enter new version for FP selection -- Lycaon 08:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question - I find it a bit too noisy for ISO 400 of a Canon 20D. Canon has a very little noise on ISO 400. Anyway, I think it's a good photo but because I'm not sure if that's the best possible, I prefer not to vote. --Arad 01:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
result: 5 Delist, 1 Keep, 0 neutral => delisted. Simonizer 07:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
