Promoted back in 2004. Grainy, and looks like it went through some kind of dithering filter.

delist You're right, it almost looks like a scan from a magazine. --

Have you considered that the graininess could be caused by using very fast film so as to avoid motion blur? --

Comment This is the first image of the first shuttle mission. Considering the date (1981) and historical value of it, it deserves FP statue. BUT, the graininess is way too much. I tried to reduce it with Photoshop but it caused other problems (such as blur on some very grainy parts). Maybe Fir can give it a try. I might retry. Although there is much better images of shuttle launch of course, this one has a historical importance though.

Weak keep edit 1. It's still very grainy, and the exhaust is blown. But very historically significant.--

Oppose replacement with edit, the edit blurred out a lot of detail while trying to get rid of the grain--the top of the shuttle looks shiny smooth and the lettering on the wing is blurry. It reminds me of a hyper-retouched model with shiny smooth skin.

Keep - it is simply a picture of a highly important moment in the history of mankind

Keep Edit 1, as the editing is definately an improvement. --

Comment edit 2. I saw Fir's work and thought it looked more noisey in places, and that the artificial sharpening was overdone. So, I gave a try and reducing the noise.--

Keep. I don't care which one you keep, but absolutely keep it! It's really the only picture we'll get of the white ET.

Keep Original - Per historical exemption. Flaws aren't that bad. Edit 1 loses resolution and manages to blur the shuttle too much. Edit 2 is overly retouched and the clouds are very fake looking. --
Dgies 05:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)reply
I agree that my edit made the clouds look weird, so I have reuploaded an earlier version that retains some of the 'helpful' noise in the clouds. --

Keep I prefer the first one, like people above have said we need to keep this picture in out database.--¿Why1991ESP. |

You realize that the image will still be around, just not marked as featured anymore? This isn't deletion.
