Comment Yes, a very good photo of how to destroy natural marine habitats. Any chance of getting the sea a bit denoised? w.carter-Talk 11:22, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
W.carter re: noise - are you referring to the white specks which are boats, or to the underwater aquatic life? Just wondering, because I'm not seeing digitizing noise on my monitor. Atsme 📞 20:06, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The boats and the aquatic life in the shallow areas are fine, I'm talking about the dark blue areas, they look kind of grainy to me. Or am I missing something? w.carter-Talk 20:13, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, they look grainy to me too. INeverCry 20:43, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Interesting from an educational POV, but not wowing to me. Quality could be better. INeverCry 20:43, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A closeup on the docks at lower left might have worked. As it is, it seems to have two subjects fighting with each other for the viewer's attention. And frankly, on first glance, I thought it was a view of some fungal colony in a Petri dish or under a microscope. Daniel Case (talk) 20:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support Impressing image, the still acceptable sensor noise in the blue areas seems be normal in comparison with other photos by the ISS astronauts. Excessive denoising would destroy many fineness. --Ras67 (talk) 00:13, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose On quality grounds -- Thennicke (talk) 01:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per INC. I love loads of NASA photos, but this is not among their best, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
