Not only is it terrible quality, I have...no idea what's going on in there.

Have nothing for suggestions, though.

The quality is definitely crap but I can tell that it's two people falling over a railing. I'll give it a chance to see if someone can find something better.

GIS didn't give me anything. Otherwise, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

How about the Rawhide Kid (an old Marvel Cowboy hero)?

PNG was too big to upload using both frames — I had to .jpg it to get it under the limit. I suppose we could just use one frame, enlarge it a little and PNG it. Either one would work.

Here's the source page if any of the photoshop wizards want to have a go at it.

[up]A++. It'd be great if someone could enhance the faded colors, but it's better than the current with or without that being done.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

It's from the 1950's and printed on old acid paper. I don't know how much it can be brightened.sad

That's awfully garish to my eye. Maybe something similar but less intense.

[tup] Less murky than the original. But it keeps the depth of colors. I like it.

10 is better.

It's up, potholed and tagged. Caption or no?

I don't think it needs a caption, but there was a pretty good line in the blog post that the image was in; something like "When you saw that railing on the cover, it was a safe bet someone was going to go through it."

"OSHA guidelines never seem to account for dramatic falls." Too obscure?

I don't think so. Pothole the whole thing to No OSHA Compliance perhaps.

Honestly, the old caption ("I still support the railing systeeeeem!") could work just as well as anything else.

What @20 said. I would pothole just the OSHA though.

Crowner for the caption?

I've hooked the requested caption crowner, although I question the need for three variants on one, especially one without the discussed pothole.
