.jpg)
I wonder why this image isn't featured yet. Beautiful lighting, good focus and very pleasant to the eye.
The image appears in the folllowing mainspace articles: Saturn V, Spaceflight, Apollo 4 and Arthur Rudolph.
The image was photographed by NASA and therefore is public domain.

- Oppose. Below the resolution requirements. The amounts of editing that NASA has done possibly detracts from the encyclopedic value of the photo. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 18:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Much too small. NauticaShades 18:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a higher resolution image. Michaelas10 (T|C) 18:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Still below the requirements.--Andrew c 21:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- Yeah I am aware of it. Is there any way to increase the resolution of the picture without lowering it's quality? Michaelas10 (T|C) 21:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, no. There is a finite amount of information coded digitally as colored pixels in each image. If an image gets bigger, there is no way to create more new information to fill in the gaps. As the WIAFP page states, NASA has a vast quantity of high resolution images, so it is surprising that this one is so small (which makes me think there may be a bigger version somewhere). Here is a list of all the Saturn V images that I could find, with multiple resolution options. I couldn't find this image.--Andrew c 21:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- I see.. none of these image, however, are of featured quality. Michaelas10 (T|C) 21:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Not to mention it's not in any article. NauticaShades 20:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment: We already have a featured Saturn V picture of good quality : Apollo 17 The Last Moon Shot -Glaurung 05:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's superior to this one. The top of the tower gets a bit dark there...but it's still better.--HereToHelp 01:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
