Judging by this version here the rendition used to illustrate this article has had the sky heavily burned in order to look more dramatic. At which point did this edited version become the standard, and who edited it? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 23:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Or compare it with this, which is the same picture uploaded under a different name. This appears to have been a former feature picture which was presumably rejected because of damage to the print, and I surmise because it's less dramatic than the version with the burned sky. My hypothesis is that this image - with the dull grey clouds - is an accurate rendition of the original negative, but at some point someone at a newspaper decided to make it look more ominous, and the edited version has become the new standard. You see the same kind of thing with the famous shot of the landing craft on its way to the beach - the top of the ramp and the chap in the top-left have been burned-in. It'd be interesting to know what it looked like when it first appeared in a newspaper, presumably on June 7th. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:15, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
The caption for the image is a bit too long to fit the criteria of WP:CAPTION and should be shortened. However, I don't think this prevents it from meeting B5. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Into the Jaws of Death 23-0455M edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 6, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-06-06. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:50, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
