Wikipedia:Picture peer review/STS-123 launch

 
The launch of STS-123, launched at 2:28:14 a.m. EDT

I believe that this image has an opportunity to become a featured image, but there might be room for improvement. How can I improve it?

  • Thanks for nominating this image at PPR. We get quite a lot of NASA images through FPC, and standards are pretty high. This is an attractive image, but we already have a number of shuttle FPs, including photos taken at the launch (see Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Aeronautics and aviation/Space); admittedly I don't think we have a night launch as FP. However, this would currently stand no chance at FPC due to the odd smudging effect at the left of the booster rockets. Beyond that, technical quality is nothing outstanding. If you have access to a better quality version, in particular one without the smudging, you could try uploading that for another attempt. Thanks for your contribution. --jjron (talk) 15:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
