Comment on File:Valu592-2.png

First off, I love your images in articles - they really illustrate the articles well. So I do need to point out a discrepancy or ambiguity in File:Valu592-2.png, which describes itself as the last moments of ValuJet 592. It's not clear from the image, but it looks like the aircraft is about to impact at a fairly shallow angle, though again, it is difficult to tell as the horizon is not visible. For clarity, perhaps tweaking it to make it clear that the impact attitude was much more vertical will aid the reader understanding just how violent the impact really was ( reconstructed to be "Right wing down, nose down" (Ref: Sec. 1.1) and described by eyewitnesses as "nearly vertical" (op. cit., sec 1.1.1) ). Just thought I'd mention this, for accuracy sake. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Arakunem (talk) 18:12, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

I am so sorry for the late reply, the holidays have been busy as hell. Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate the encouragement :) Making images based on real events is hard if you actually care about accuracy, so it's nice to hear from people who also look at the details.

I was kinda worried about that myself, whether the image really gives the impression of imminence regarding Critter 592's fate. Two things said yes, the large shadow and only extra swamp was cropped from the original image. The latter you had no way of knowing of course, but trust me, the plane is almost totally nose down and banked right. I tried to do it from a ground perspective but the problem was a stationary camera makes for a blurry airplane. I didn't do it without vector blurring because the image comes out looking like a Critter 592 is hovering. I could just upload the uncropped image, it helps make clear that the horizon is just as visible as it is anytime you're looking almost straight down. However that would have the unintended effect of making the airplane smaller and less easily seen in a thumbnail. Anynobody (talk) 05:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Wasn't sure if you wanted a reply here or were watching my page. Again I'm sorry for the delay. Anynobody (talk) 22:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
