Rain[edit]

**Original** - A lot of raindrops on a glass window of a building.

**Edit 1** - A simple level correction accentuates colors and very faintly shows secondary bow top left.

Reason: I think this phenomenon is well captured with this picture. Yes, it is a simple concept, but that doesn't mean the EV is low. It is a sight familiar for millions of people around the world and as I said, photographed in a decent manner. Further more, the picture is of a large resolution and doesn't contain technical flaws.

Abstain but suggestion: Edit 1 level correction brings out the colors, and even shows secondary bow. --Janke | Talk 14:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. I also tried it myself, but the picture seems to become very pixelated. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't think the rainbow in the background has any relevance to the section in Rain this image appears in (especially given the caption which describes how rain saddens people). Aside from that it seems to be a fairly mediocre rainbow (compare the current FP) - Janke's edit is a step in the right direction but the quality is too much degraded. Also it looks like this was taken at a bit of an angle to the flat glass which left only a few drops in focus despite f/10 which is a bit of a shame --Fir0002 06:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't see what this image illustrates exactly, it doesn't show rainbows all that well. --Leivick (talk) 08:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The subject are the raindrops. The rainbow is purely to give it something extra. This picture is a lot better than the current FP:

The current FP illustrates more than just the raindrops. Muhammad(talk) 16:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the current featured picture illustrates raindrops on a window (if they really need to be illustrated) better. The image with the Golden Gate bridge shows the distortion more clearly. --Leivick (talk) 08:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not as attractive as the Golden Gate bridge raindrop picture. And not a great deal of EV either. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
