Manahattan 1942

I think that the combined historical significance and relative good quality of this image could propel it to featured picture status. However, it has some techincal problems (slight noise, low contrast, weird pixely black parts). The problem is that I really have no editing experience, so I was wondering if anyone could do a good edit, so I can nominate it. Thanks in advance.

• Image:Uss-akron-manhattan.jpg is rather similar and already an FP. -- Solipsist 14:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply
  • If anything, this picture is better quality. Nautica Shades^{( talk)} 16:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Well, yes and no. In a way it is quite hard to compare. This one is bigger, but it might be possible to find a larger version of the USS Akron picture if someone looked for it. This one _may_ be a little less sharp and has some odd mottling (clouds? emulsion problems? poor scanning? window reflection?) Personally I prefer the USS Akron picture, for the composition and the additional interest of the airship. Though I dare say if it were nominated today, you would have a couple of editors wibbling about blown out highlights... 8*) -- Solipsist 17:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply
