Delist per nom Weak replace with higher resolution version/delist original - just out of curiousity, why is the other image a png? J Are you green? 03:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have no idea. I found it on the Commons whilst searching 'fire'. Centy 13:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

- I downloaded it as a .tif, but I don't have photoshop on this computer and didn't want to compress it with MS Paint's awful jpeg algorithm. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 15:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still don't think it's up to FP standard. There's huge artifacts in the top left where the trees are on fire. Centy 20:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this has been put up for removal before and it had a lot of support to keep, my support remains. Its not the technical aspects of the photo, it is what the image encapsulates as a whole- the deer the water, the fire. It is a beautiful image

Keep. Technical qualities aside, the superseding image linked above isn't in the same league as this one, one of the best compositions of any FP. I wouldn't support it as a new FP nomination, but it is quite good enough to retain.--ragesoss 01:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I know there's a better version of this out there, I've seen one with something like a 1600x1023 resolution somewhere. The quality on this version is weak though. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:29, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm uploading a new version, will be here:

Delist Great image, but unfortunately both versions lack much detail.Chris H 03:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Replace with high res jpg version I uploaded a jpg version of the png file. The pic is still the same quality, but 3mb smaller. Much shaper and cleaner than current jpg version. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 07:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Always use the master (in this case the Tif file) to do any edits or re encoding.Chris H 17:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oops...missed that! =) Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 06:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One of the more striking photos I've ever seen. Not really reproducible, unless you want Smokey the Bear to smack you with his shovel and bellow "Only you! Only you!" at you . Spikebrennan 22:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Reminds me of the forest fire in Disney's Bambi. Very evocative, quality good enough even if not perfect. --Janke | Talk 14:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The high-resolution addicts strikes again ! It was good enough for a 2 page spread in Time Magazine as part of its "Photos of the Year" series see [1] Ericd 03:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Any except the PNG which is unnecessarily large --Fir0002 05:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or replace with higher rez version if possible, as with every time in the past and everything listed here in favor of keeping, despite a few quality issues overall it is a stunning picture and more than worthy of FPC. Cat-five - talk 15:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Should definitely be a featured picture. --Pixelface 18:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
