Original - Satellite photographs showing flooding in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani Provinces, Thailand, in October 2011 (right), compared to before the flooding in July (left)

Reason: This pair of satellite images, when viewed in comparison, strikingly present the wide-spread effects of the 2011 Thailand floods in the area, as well as flooding in general. (Note that this is a double nomination. This is my first time at FPC so apologies if this wasn't done properly.)

Cropped and merged

Comment. Very nice resolution and good EV, but could you consider combining the two photos into one? Otto Jula (talk) 15:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. I didn't do it the first time because I felt it was harder to do a side-by-side comparison when zoomed in with the merged image. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:08, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Edit. The contrast between the two photos is amazing. Fallingmasonry (talk) 20:12, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit. The comparison gives a good understanding of how massive the flooding was. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I personally prefer the original pair of images - one can flick back and forth between browser tabs to see the difference. JJ Harrison (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit. Quite affecting. It should be ensured that if promoted, the edit is the one used in the article and not the two individual files, as it the situation at the moment. Matthewedwards : Chat 23:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
