I took this photograph in December 2003 - it depicts two fishermen in their boat attempting to catch fresh fish for us to purchase. The palm trees illustrate how close we are to land, and of course the tropical nature of the surroundings. In high resolution you can make out that the fishermen are not very well dressed, illustrating how the lower classes of Indian society continue to make ends meet through primary economic methods such as fishing... especially in a coastal town such as
Mangalore.
The picture was taken by me, has been released into the public domain, and appears on the
Mangalore article, used in conjunction with the section to do with the local economy.

Comment exposure time of 1/640 sec (0.0015625) is very less, esp when the natural light is dull . This should have been more. --

Oppose. Very nice scene, but the quality is inadequate for featured quality. Keep trying though! ; ) — WebdingerBLAH |

Oppose. This might be improved by editing the original camera file (not a compressed jpg) to smaller size, while adjusting brightness/contrrast and correcting the slight tilt. --

Support. I don't know what picture you guys are looking at, but I think this one is high enough quality so that is is FP material. I may be a little on the fuzzy side, but I think its great quality. A better picture might be nice though. --

Oppose you can see the excessive JPEG compression at thumbnail size. Full size it's bloody awful.

Oppose Nice scenery, but bad quality. AlvinruneTALK 02:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)reply
Comment I uploaded another version, but it still needs a lot more editing to be considered a Featured Picture. AlvinruneTALK 02:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)reply
There's no use in trying to improve a pic with that much noise & artifacts - in fact, your new edit looks more like a
fresco on
stucco than a photo... ;-) --
