Original - McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II is a family of second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing or V/STOL jet multirole aircraft of the late 20th century.Edit 3 Change in WB, blur crop and some sharpening. (
victorrocha)Edit 4 as edit 3, but reduced saturation.Edit 5 by
Fir0002. Sharpened, contrast, WB, Noise/artefact reduction
Comment The picture is definitely FP material however, I would like to see the harrier lightened and given a bit more contrast. --

Support - an impressive sight, and very encyclopedic. I do agree with the above comment that it could perhaps do with the contrast slightly improved. Bobtalk09:02, 16 June 2008 (UTC)reply
Edit 2 uploaded Very nice pic. I'm no raster expert, but here's a different take on the contrast enhancement. Looks overdone in thumb, but that's opinion - there's still some space at the edges of the histogram. I also smoothed out the sky to get rid of some .jpg artifacts and cropped out the blurry grass.

Yeah, my edit was a quick job, so I'm looking for feedback. As for edit 2, there are a lot of artifacts. Could you re-save it at a higher quality?

Wish I could - those artifacts are from the original jpg and they only come out when you up the contrast. I saved at 100% quality from GIMP and the file size is about 4x as large as the original so I think that it did it. Bummer. Score another one for the
Joint Photographic Experts Group.

Comment, further to my earlier vote, I support either the original or edit 3. At a push, I would say edit three is the more striking. Bobtalk23:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)reply
Weak Support Edit 5. Edit 5 is the best of the edits IMO (biased by still!) however it can't fix the underlying lack of sharpness in this picture. Must say I'm looking forward to the 2009 air show! :) --

Neutral The original isn't good enough, and to me, the edits make it look borderline fake (especially the front landing tire).
