- Reason
- This is a nom of an edited version of an image that failed its previous FPC nom. The nomination closed shortly after Debivort posted this edit. The edit improves the graininess of the original. I think that this edit is worth another look.
- Articles this image appears in
- Many, including Hurricane Katrina
- Creator
- AP Photo/U.S. Coast Guard, Petty Officer 2nd Class Kyle Niemi , edit by Debivort

- Oppose Original, Support Alternative Downsampling. Noise is not that much of a concern that detail and resolution should be thrown away in the quest for the smoothest possible image. There are foreground objects such as damaged powerlines and road sign gantrys that have lost all detail in this edit. Try simply running the original through NoiseNinja and you end up with a more usable image. This file is much reduced in size (from 1150 to 900 wide) to the point that it is now bordering on the size requirements.
I can upload the NN'd version if you want to see.I have uploaded an alternate with noise reduction only, no downsample. Mfield (talk) 16:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC) - Weak oppose Very high EV, but the detail is a little iffy. crassic![talk] 23:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose, I highly doubt there isn't a better photo of such a recent event... gren グレン 21:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Support. Due to the fact that it seems that this photograph was taken from a helicopter, I am unsure whether many shots of this caliber exist documenting the events of Katrina. NauticaShades 02:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)- Neutral. It would seem that there are in fact better quality pictures here. NauticaShades 02:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure they are any better - i just uploaded the best one from your link to commons, but i don't think its really any more enc than the nominated pic. Mfield (talk) 22:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
