The eye of Hurricane Isabel

Original - The eye of Hurricane Isabel, 2003. Hurricane Isabel was the costliest, deadliest, and most intense hurricane in the season. The ninth named storm, fifth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the season, Isabel formed from a tropical wave on September 6 in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. It moved northwestward, and within an environment of light wind shear and warm waters it steadily strengthened to reach peak winds of 165 mph (265 km/h) on September 11. Here, the storm has just weakened to a Category 4 storm from its peak as a Cat. 5

Edit 1

Reason: This is a rather detailed and clear image of the eye of Hurricane Isabel during the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. A NASA astronaut, Ed Lu, took this image of the eye of Hurricane Isabel from the International Space Station at 11:18 UTC on September 13, 2003.

Support but prefer Edit 1 - Did some exposure adjustment which i think was needed. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Thanks, but does the edit make the center of the eye look a tad too dark? –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]
  - Scratch that, the edit does look better. Thanks. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Only for the EV. The quality isn't great but its good enough for FP. —§unday b 01:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 1 The EV value is very good and edit 1 definitely goes far to fix it being a bit too light although I had the same thought as Julian before I went and tweaked my monitor settings a little bit. Cat-five - talk 01:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Original version is a better starting point for edits (larger, dust specks can be removed, no JPG re-compression issues). Juliancolton, when uploading new versions of images with significant differences do not upload over the original!--Nilfanion (talk) 01:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as I could tell they were very minor tweaks more than significant differences... –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:49, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - A crop is a significant change, particularly in the context of FPC. In context, I feel the original works better as a thumbnail in article (the extra vertical size helps). When in doubt do not upload over someone elses image.--Nilfanion (talk) 01:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Alright, sorry then, I'm not particularly familiar with images on Commons. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 01:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - The same applies with images on WP.--Nilf anion (talk) 02:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Got it. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid it's the turn of the pedantic knowitall to pop up-in the caption,it should be 'its peak' not 'it's peak' Lemon martini (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops; note to self, don't write when tired. How's the image itself? –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 12:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 with the comment that significant edits should be uploaded under a new filename, with the actions performed fully noted and a link back to the original file. Durova^Charge! 18:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:18, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Edit 1 - This is a great photo. High EV and the quality is quite good. (Giligone (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Support edit 1 I tried to stay away from FPC for a while but this is amazing!--Elena85 | Talk to Me | 1800 edits!!!' 19:58, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Though it has a high EV, noise and artifacting prevent me from supporting. Spencer^T♦^C 12:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
