Wave-cut platform

Wave-cut platform, a geological feature caused by the sea's erosion of cliffs, seen at Southerndown, near Bridgend, South Wales.
File:Wavecut platform small.jpg
Downsampled to 1595x800, virtually no detail loss, but got rid of edge (compression) effects and softness, image is still large enough.

A composite of three images taken from the coastal path at Southerndown. It's a little soft at full resolution, but I think this is a good illustration of wave-cut platform nonetheless. The tide was well out, leaving a large area of the platform exposed. Used in Wave-cut platform and Erosion.

  • Oppose. Not striking. Good image, but it isn't going to draw the eye of readers.--ragesoss 23:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support downsampled. Intriguing and encyclopedic, but the quality is a problem. Still seems too sharp, but it's not as bad as the original. -- bcasterline • talk 23:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I think it's a really interesting topic, and the difference of the sky from the land is quite striking. Also, I may be blind, but where are the compression artifacts? --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 03:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support downsampled. Encyclopedic, illustrates subject very well. Downsampling got rid of the edge sharpening (which may be a camera "compression artifact"), giving a crisp, sharp image with practically no loss of detail. Still large enough, at 1595x800. --Janke | Talk 07:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have to admit I'd not noticed the edge (too long staring at the damn thing trying to make sure it was straight!) but it's in the original JPEG straight out of the camera (highest quality setting) and all the editing/processing was done in .PSD to avoid over-compression. I'm afraid until I stop being a student and can afford a proper digi SLR, I'm stuck with what my camera gives me! --Yummifruitbat 12:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. As per ragesoss Swollib 09:01, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. Personally, I find this image very eyecatching. My only concern is the artefacts in the water, but am still willing to support, and have a preference for original. --jjron 11:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I Think this has the potential to be Featured. Is there a way to remove the artifacts (as the edited version claims to have done) but retain the original's colouring? The edited version has been washed out. Witty lama 16:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I bet you're comparing both tumbnails on a LCD or laptop screen! The colors are exactly the same in both images, but an LCD will show a vertical color/contrast difference over the screen area. LCDs are not the best screens for evaluating color and contrast. If you have a chance to look at this on a CRT, you'll see what I mean. Or, you can load both image pages (not the full-size images) in browser tabs, and switch between them - no visible color change. --Janke | Talk 17:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. Just by scrolling up/down I can see the images change colour (slightly). I never knew that. Witty lama 07:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
