Explanation: during the stay in Japan, my camera lost its display. It was in full auto mode, so I had to shoot the whole stay in full auto mode because I could not adjust the settings! (In this case, I would have liked to set it to 100 ISO) David.Monniaux 20:33, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • On a sunny day you could make a much brighter picture of this waterfall. But if you ever travelled in Iceland, you would know that clouds of the kind shown are quite typical for this area. This photo immediately makes you believe that Dettifoss is situated in Iceland, and not in Italy or Spain. --Roger McLassus 12:10, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Basic internal components of a 3.5" floppy disk.
  •  Nominate
– I don't know, I think this is fairly clear but I'm not sure what your diagram standards are. This is just a little drawing I made illustrating the major internal components of a 3.5" floppy disk. I tried to do it almost as a "film-strip" removing the cover of the disk. It is pretty simple, but maybe that is an asset for something like this — my goal was for it to be understandable by a small child, or someone who had no computer experience.

Please reconsider the newly uploaded image and don't forget to sign ... Andreas Tille 21:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No, not the steam, why such sarcasm ;-) ? The composition and the colours are really outstanding. So at e.g. a width of 800px it looks really great, but in the fullsize, it still looks kinda unsharp or blurry or it's just wiggly, this can happen to anyone. I also tried to use a sharpening filter on your pic, but it didn't work. It's a pity for this really outstanding composition. --SehLax 18:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
 Support many of other featured pics aren't better so why shouldn't this be featured. Maybe my criteria on sharpness were just too high. After the downsize and the resharpening, it seems to be ok. --SehLax 21:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please have a second look: I did "Unsharp mask" and sized the image down now. Andreas Tille 21:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, you are right it is just reality. But more than this: I adjusted these "lines" in the direction of the motiv of the image on purpose. Andreas Tille 21:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
