  • looks good! cool building! Sarah (talk) 04:30, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Any reason you're using the "colourised" version of the image, as opposed to this cleaner one? I can't say I've often seen a richly purple sky... Nikthestoned 14:44, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
  • The original image looks a little washed out and is lacking in clarity of the building elements, so I tweaked its saturation and contrast settings to make the elements look more distinct. I could try doing it to a lesser degree or just dropping the colorized version altogether. MBisanz talk 15:19, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
  • I'd say that a little washed out is better than completely unrealistic... Unless the building & sky were indeed purple at the time! I changed the image on the Intelsat headquarters article also, given this reasoning. Nikthestoned 09:32, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Ok, that's fair. I may try another run at just sharpening the contrast and not the hue after it's on DYK, but I'll run it by you if I do. MBisanz talk 12:03, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
  • If you want to change the image on this nom too, you'd have my support. As is though, I can only support text-only DYK. Nikthestoned 12:43, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
