Original – Backdropped by a blanket of clouds, Space Shuttle Endeavour approaches the International Space Station during STS-113. Endeavour docked to the station at 21:59 P.M. (UTC) on November 25, 2002. The Port One (P1) truss segment, which was later to be attached to the station, can be seen in Endeavour's cargo bay.

Alt-1 Contrast slightly increased.

Reason

Seems like an educational picture, good EV, excellent quality, meets criteria.

• Oppose. Image seems a bit faint, and caption is too wordy. —Eustress ^talk 23:45, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Can you elaborate a little on how the picture is "faint"? Dusty777 (talk) 01:36, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking he means the contrast should be higher. I kind of agree with him, if that's the case. Clegs (talk) 10:43, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

I uploaded an alternate version with increased contrast (I can't guarantee that it is the BEST edit, as I lack the proper programs.) Problem fixed? Dusty777 (talk) 18:42, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that took care of the contrast issue. Clegs (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose I don't see how this has particularly strong EV compared to the many other Space Shuttle photos, and this one has some blown highlights and a little blur at full size. Pine^talk 10:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose per the blown highlights and blur. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:05, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
