Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Image:HurricaneDean.jpg
A great photo of Hurricane Dean. I was amazed when I first saw it on Wikimedia Commons. But it's a little blurry, while significantly so on the lower-left corner of the image. What can be done to fix this picture up so that it's no longer blurry, the resolution does not suffer, and it is a guaranteed featured picture?

- "What can be done to fix this picture up so that it's no longer blurry, the resolution does not suffer, and it is a guaranteed featured picture?" Quite frankly, without faking the picture to add detail that doesn't exist, nothing can be done to cure the blurriness and retain the resolution, and there's no way of guaranteeing anything FP status. In fact I find the whole picture pretty soft, and there's quite a lot of noise as well, most visible in the eye, and you wouldn't be able to do a lot about it. Hurricane pictures often struggle a bit at FPC, largely due to the fact that we see quite a lot of them, and in general they tend to look pretty similar. So there usually has to be something a bit unique about how they're taken for them to succeed, and I doubt that this picture has that 'something special'. See Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena/Weather for a few that are already featured, and for some reason there's also one in Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Views of Earth from space and satellites. Thanks anyway. --jjron (talk) 14:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
