Let L-410 Turbolet edit

 
Original - An L-410 Turboleta in flight, at the Góraszka International Airshow in Poland. Manufactured by Czech company Let Kunovice, the successful L-410 model was designed in the 1960s. Of the 1,138 planes built, this aircraft is one of approximately 500 L-410 Turboletas still in use.
 
Edit 1 Colour adjustments and cloned out hand
 
Edit 2 - Fixed halo by redoing adjustments with curves. It changes the appearance of the sky a bit, but I think this is more realistic, anyway.
 
Christmas turkey edit
Reason
Clearly and attractively shows the subject in flight. Good quality. As a bonus, we have very few featured civilian aircraft photographs.

  • Hmmm, so maybe it's true what they say about mile-high clubs? Maedin\talk 12:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • On the captain's side of the cockpit no less. Its like road-head, but probably closer to 'sky-head'. ;) -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 01:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose Support edit Support Edit2 Nice picture, clear and interesting ,if a little dark. Weak oppose though is due to the hand... Once you see it it is very distracting... Can this be edited out in any way? as hand has now been removed, changed to support... Colours much better too, so definate support... Edit 2 much better as must admit didn't notice halo - now you mention it though very obvious! Doh!Gazhiley (talk) 12:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose The lighting doesn't do it for me. upstateNYer 17:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support edit - it looks good, and is of something we don't have enough FPs of. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose edit 1 Strong halos in the edit, presumably from large-radius unsharp masking. Can you undo whatever step created them? Curves or levels would be a better way to approach this one, IMO. Thegreenj 21:31, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak support edit 2 Much better, although I'd prefer frontal lighting to the plane being in shadow. Thegreenj 20:36, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Edit 2 uploaded Can we give this a couple days? Shoemaker's Holiday Over 210 FCs served 02:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This is getting messy, :-) For what it's worth, I support edit 2 as a definite improvement on the original. I don't mind whether the hand is there or not there, which edit 1 removed, but the halos were too strong for me to support. Maedin\talk 06:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Do we really want to edit out the hand? It seems misleading. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 213 FCs served 17:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another edit added. Please specify preference. Thanks. Makeemlighter (talk) 22:11, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Shoemaker: I didn't mean to advocate the removal of the hand. It just looked like a neat challenge. @Makeemlighter/Shoemaker/other closer: As far as I'm concerned, you can just promote edit 2, which seems promotable based on the current !votes.
