Western Face of Thwaites Scars

I think its a good quality image and i like the composition (forgive the bias). My problem is that Thwaites Scars although visually interesting do not have an article --Childzy ¤ Talk 19:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image quality is quite poor when viewed at 100%, but then this is 3000px high, so the lack of quality can be forgiven. The simple solution would be to downscale the image to hide the flaws, but it's probably best not to do that since downscaling is sometimes a controversial practice, since it involves removing detail from the image, and therefore forcing your own decision on other people. It's your choice. Also, I think your last upload went a bit too far in the attempt to increase contrast, and it now looks a bit unnatural to me. A fairly conservative levels adjustment to your first upload in GIMP produces a nice image. Finally: is it possible to make the picture's field of view slightly wider? Looks to me like the sides of the ridge might be cut off slightly. This is a nice picture though, so might be worth a shot at FPC. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 10:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with the quality at 100%, was quite annoyed by the lack of sharpness. I'll restitch and produce a slightly wider crop with less adjustments --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK, great: the picture is on Commons now, by the way. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 10:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
New image uploaded, prolly wont show up here until the original wikipedia upload is deleted. Whats the point of even being able to upload at wikipedia now? The problem with a double system is I always forget about commons! --Childzy ¤ Talk 19:21, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The new version looks very nice: the contrast is much better, and the slightly wider FOV is a definite improvement. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 08:58, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - If i do put it up for FP have i to wait until the wikipedia image is deleted? Otherwise i can see it causing problems --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - The simplest thing to do would be to wait for the Wikipedia version to be deleted... but now there is a queue of 18,000 images waiting to be processed. I think the best thing to do would be to upload the newest Commons version over your Wikipedia version: the Wikipedia version will be deleted eventually so the duplication doesn't matter, and it would be good to get the best and latest version into articles and get the FPC ball rolling.
