  • Added as an alt. Support either, preference for alt. The edited version looks to me like the perspective correction is eyeballed, not based on a verifiable frame of reference. Thus, I'd rather have the unedited version. WB of the alt is typical of NASA Mars photos, probably doesn't need correcting except for cosmetic purposes.
