Snake River Canyon (Idaho)[edit]
- Reason
- I found this image while I was adding historical images from the National Archives to articles here, and I thought it was a really nice shot. It's big and clear, with pleasing composition, and it adds a lot of value to its article.
- Proposed caption
- Snake River Canyon, a large canyon formed by the Snake River in the Magic Valley region of southern Idaho.
- Articles this image appears in

- Oppose - "It's big and clear" sorry but its not, it seems grainy and has large areas with poor focus. The technical quality lets the image down, the composition is quite nice --Childzy ¤ Talk 09:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - low technical quality - grainy and unfocused.--Svetovid 11:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It's soft & grainy because it's straight out of the camera, where (for some reason) it was shot at ISO400. At 10MP it stands downsampling and enhancing a little. I've uploaded another version. I'm still not sure about it though.. it's basically a shot of a golf course.. mikaultalk 15:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- I guess ISO 400 helped with the camera shake but increased the noise, nice edit btw Bleh999 15:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Original,
WeakSupport Edit 1. The edit is quite an improvement, but as mikaul said,it's just a shot of a golf course. Never mind then. --NauticaShades 01:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC) - Comment: It's not a picture of a golf course, that's what you see from the Perrine memorial site at the Perrine Bridge. Look beyond the lower right corner of the photo. Gh5046 22:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
