Comment - is it just me, or does the whole thing seem slightly out of focus? — BRIAN0918 • 2008-05-09 18:24Z
- I downsampled and selectively sharpened this file. Didn't want to go too far and generate a grainy appearance. Think it could use one more tweak? Durova^Charge! 18:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I'm not sure that any edits will squeeze more detail out of it, although I agree, it is slightly soft. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 18:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Really like this, wishing it was slightly sharper and sampled higher. --Mike Spenard (talk) 21:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It would be nice if the above concerns were addressed, but the image is of very good quality anyway. NauticaShad es 01:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support both Question: Is the yellow diagonal stuff supposed to be there, or is it just the aging (or something else)? Spencer^T♦^C 18:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't look like aging or other post-printing discoloration (although it might be an accidental artifact of the production process). The deeper yellow region ends abruptly at the border of a different color, and doesn't reappear in the bottom right section of the same color.--ragesoss (talk) 20:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The yellow diagonal appeared to be artistic intention so I didn't alter it. Suggests stylized rays of sunlight through the trees. Durova^Charge! 22:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Okay, thanks for clarifying. Spencer^T♦^C 11:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
