Do you have a less compressed version of the image (larger file size, less artifacts)? — BRIAN0918 • 2006-08-20 19:46
Oppose for now Two problems. The first one is as Brian stated, and the second is that the rules say that the picture must appear in an article. This image only appears on FPC pages. If you could fix those, you will have my support. Viva La V i e Boheme!
Oppose for now. Exactly as above, but the best I will vote for is a weak support, as highlights are blown in the upper right. --Tewy 22:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not in article, unclear what the subject is. HighInBC 23:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Ive fixed the highlights and uploaded a larger version (1280x960). Also added to articles. 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 --^{PlaneMad|YakYak} 13:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
