Barrage Balloon
This almost comical image not only has very historical value and is one of a kind, but it is at a relatively good resolution. Although the quality is not perfect, I think this could still make it. As well as being a Commons Featured Picture, this image appears in Barrage balloon and Operation Plumbbob.

very weak oppose - I love the subject - but - there are rubber-stamp duplicated regions in the grassy foreground. It looks manipulated.Debivort 20:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)- strong oppose - I can now see manipulated regions all over the bottom sixth of the image. Sorry.

- Here is the image from the US gov site. The weirdness in the grass is on the original, so it was not the doing of a wikipedian.-- Andrew c 01:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- It seems to me as though that might have been wrinkles from the original image that came through in the scan? The left side at the bottom looks as though it were bent when scanned. Gphoto talk 02:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think so, there are exact duplicates of certain shapes and textures in the grass. It definitely looks like photoshop clone stamping or healing. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- Strong Oppose. Unfortunately due to the misrepresentation of the foreground grass. If they were going to hide something - even if just scratches on the negative or something - they should have put a bit more effort into it before publishing the photo!

- Oppose, the poor quality of the upper part makes it clear that this was scanned from something that wasn't the original medium. Quality is blah. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 17:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
