Space Shuttle Atlantic launch plume showing shadow.
Reason
I love the scene, but it has serious quality problems: compression artifacts, chromatic aberration and blown highlights.

I looked through there, thanks. We do have a lot of Shuttle stuff. I do like the shot and it shows something that those who have lived in Florida will know, but others really will not (something special). That said, I also read the initial acceptance and there was the (reasonable) point made that despite its interestingness, it is not really illustrative like a diagram or the like. I do find the shot beatiful and on a notable topic, so would be fine with it staying. That said, we don't lose anything key with it gone either. maybe I am slightly towards retention as an FP given that we have the photo either way and that FP is a bit more about beauty than about EV (and I say this being one who always bangs the EV drum). On the technical photog aspects, I am stupid, so don't take my comments as meaning a thing there.TCO (reviews needed) 02:47, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that it isn't particularly illustrative of a specific topic (at least in any of the articles in which it currently appears) but it seems like a borderline case, and I could be convinced that it is sufficient in the EV category. My real concerns are with the quality.-RunningOnBrains(talk) 03:41, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
