  • Oppose I checked the original - the TIFF, which should really have been uploaded to Commons as well - and the levels adjustment seems to have blown out the highlights - losing detail in the large explosion near the middle, and turning some subtle smoke and mist around the plane right of that into something that visually dominates, which isn't in the original - it also emphasised the graininess unnecessarily. It's not the best photo, but could still be valuable despite that, but I think we can ask for the best version of this photo.
