Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Roman Baths in Bath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proposed replacement - The Great Bath at the Roman Baths. The entire structure above the level of the pillar bases is a later reconstruction.
Current FP as reference
Reason
Firstly, yes, this is already a FP, but I was never really happy with the sky (too pale and slightly purple), the colour of the water (too green) or the contrast. I've been going through some of my old work and improving on it where possible, putting more time into it and using new techniques. I think I've been able to improve significantly on the colour reproduction and contrast of this shot. I'm not sure what we eventually decided last time this issue was raised, but I'm proposing that if this version is supported, we replace the old FP with it. From memory, consensus seemed to point towards doing it all within this nomination, but I'm not fussed.

For the record, the original nomination is here.

Oh, and rather than adding a new image, I've overwritten the original image that was not promoted (an edit was eventually promoted). I noticed that Mediawiki seems to be displaying the old thumbnail still. Be sure to load the full image to compare. It should be visibly different, probably even from the thumbnail.
