Agasthiyamalai range and Tirunelveli Rainshadow region edit

The Tirunelveli rainshadow is an arid region in south Tamil Nadu. The rainshadow is created due to the prescence of the Agasthiyamalai hills which blocks the Monsoon winds from the west and cutting it off from the Southwest Monsoon. The image shows the effect of a rainshadow on the local climate. The landscape is arid even though less than 20km away there are rainclouds and monsoon showers.

Oppose. Poor quality (blurry around the sides/corners). Has also been nominated before. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 18:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Support I don't see blurriness anywhere except the left side; a crop can take care of that. (Also a bit blurry around background mountains, but not as bad and not and harder to correct.) The old nomination was rejected because a compressed version was uploaded first and that it did not appear in any articles. Both have been fixed. I await the crop.--Here T oHelp 22:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
