Hi,Ikluft. Your mirage image looked interesting to me, so I emailed the link to the best mirage specialist Andy Young. Here what he writes about your image:
"You can see that the angular height of the fold line is considerably higher for the mountains in the background than the little strips of miraged grass -- just a few narrow patches -- closer to the camera. Apparently the field is not quite flat, so there are patches a little higher than the rest that stick up above the "vanishing line" (really, a surface that gradually slopes up away from the observer). There are even a few closer patches that present even thinner mirage images just at the fold line. Also the height of the grass is so close to the height of the fold that the mirages in the grass are restricted to a very thin strip just at the fold line; the rest of the inverted image is truncated by the tall grass.Thanks for turning this example up. I probably should make a link to it from somewhere in my mirage discussions. Also, I probably should try to find the photographer's e-mail address and ask some questions about the picture."
So as I could se he has some questions to ask you about the image. May I please ask you to e-mail him or give me your e-mail address that I would send it to him. If you're to respond my message, please respond it here. I'll check on your response myself. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 12:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, I was already getting that impression too. I'm not giving up on Commons yet though. Since the photo documents an historic event and achievement with a wide enough view to share some of what it was like to be there, it's a matter of whether enough editors consider that a mitigating factor for being less than 2 megapixels.

Hello,

Just to request your attention, did you ever notice that your photo is used on two pages of a copyrighted commercial website, without mentioning neither your name nor the license used ?

I was not aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out. Ikluft (talk) 16:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given

[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. jdx Re: 03:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
