Go board

Photograph of Go board (old variant)

High res variant w/ background

Reason: Looks really nice. That said, I am slightly concerned about its size (it's rather small) and there is some fuzzines at the end - perhaps somebody could help address those issuses with some editing? Please note that a different variant exists at commons (commons:Image:Go board.jpg) however our variant was changed when the background was 'blacked', I think. While the black background is nice, the Commons version seems sharper.. let's decide on the best variant (or create it) and synchronize it with Commons.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 16:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Resolution is much too low. Dan M 17:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Dimensions are about half of what they should be. ShadowHalo 19:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose edit I don't understand why the board is (or appears to be) on the ground by people's feet, especially when there's someone kicking a soccer ball (football) around. ShadowHalo 17:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which is why this needs to be combined - high-res of the 2nd variant with masks of the first one (unfortunatly I don't have the needed skills).--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 21:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Please read the rules! One dimension should be at least 1000 pixels, this pic is 578 by 344 pixels - Adrian Pingstone 21:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Has a strong unsightly yellow color cast (I took this out in an edit at some point but this was reverted). Also, it's not really that interesting a picture. Note that the original image was almost completely unsaturated, and then the saturation was boosted (to an ungodly level), and a very imprecise mask was added to attempt to block the background. Any user with a real go board and stones and a decent camera should be able to take a much better (more interesting, higher resolution, better color) photograph with not much trouble. --jacobolus (t) 00:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Low resolution and it looks like there are artifacts around the edges of the board and some of the pieces. Aside from that, I don't think it's the best picture of a Go board that could be taken. Leebo⁸⁶ 03:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I uploaded the original file at commons:Image:Go Board, Hoge Rielen, Belgium.jpg. Allthough I also think it is a nice picture, it is not an excellent one. Anyhow feel free to improve contrast, light balance ,... --Donar Reiskoffer 09:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
