From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Eritrean Railway, showing mountainous terrain traversed between Arbaroba and Asmara. Photo taken on 4 November 2008.
Edit1 by jjron. Adjusted levels, reduced highlights, and sharpened.
Reason
Self nom. After discussion at Picture Peer Review, and with User:jjron, I have decided to nominate this image. I believe it has good composition, and well represents the mountainous terrain traversed by this remarkable railway. jjron has made some digital tweaks to improve the contrast, which can be seen in this image.
Edit 2 of original, by Papa Lima Whiskey. Reduced fade, a touch of white balance. No sharpening.
Edit 3 by Fir0002. Downsampled as well as sharpening/levels

This is a photo of a steam train crossing one of the many viaducts on the Eritrean Railway. The line runs from sea level at the port of Massawa, climbing severe gradients to a height of over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) at the Eritrean capital, Asmara. Whilst a railway like this is not unique, it is certainly very unusual. This photograph helps to show the terrain the line runs through, and give some indication of how high the line climbs. Hope this answers your question! —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 16:38, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was from the beside the public road from Asmara from Massawa. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) (logged on as Pek) 07:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No way, that edit was explicitly rejected by two, and only explicitly supported by three. Additionally, you have to exclude any of the !votes that supported "any edit" before edit 3 was nominated. I just can't see how you can come to the conclusion that edit 3 is the supported version in this case. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 12:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This should probably be reopened due to a premature closing. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
