Incineration fire
[edit]I suggest one of my own contributions for the selected pics: Movinggrate.jpg from the incineration article. Nice vivid flames from household waste inside an incinerator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Claush66 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Selected picture Nomination
[edit]File:Tuticorin Thermal Power Station at Night.jpg
File:Tuticorin Thermal Power Station at Night 1.jpg

- File:Tuticorin Thermal Power Station at Night 1.jpg - I love this one. The other is ok, but this one is outstanding. I'd probably be tempted to crop it just a little bit, like: File:Tuticorin Thermal Power Station at Night 1 crop.jpg, just to get rid of some of the "smudginess" in the foreground, and increase the power station proportionally, but I love the pic.
- It's a shame that retouching it like: File:Tuticorin Thermal Power Station at Night 1 crop retouch.jpg would be cheating...
