  • Comment I'm not an expert in photography, but personally, I think you went a bit too far with the contrast and colours. Got any more information on what we're looking at? There's no geo-tagging or information in the file summary about where this is located. Also, it seems we're looking at about a mile-long stretch of road.. Is this a fair representation of the entire route? Matthewedwards :  Chat  04:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply If I went too far with the photo editing, the original is available ([2]) for a retouch. Yes this is a fair representation of the entire route. There is a ongoing discussion at Wikiproject: Highways about geo-taging and coordinate systems. Once a consensus is reached, it can be added to the photo and road's article.

  • Oppose Current. Blown sky and oversaturation. Would reconsider if a good edit is made. Clegs (talk) 08:06, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Agree with the comments that the edit is oversaturated. However even the original has a blown sky so that can't be fixed. The original upload is lacking in contrast. Ultimately, this is a 0.7 MP photo of a piece of road. The camera used is capable of 6MP images. If you have the full size original, you should really upload that rather than a small wallpaper sized reduction. However, even a larger version wouldn't probably have anyone going wow and we'd then start noticing the limitations of the small sensor on image quality. Colin°Talk 11:36, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
