Opinions requested: Are these pictures too poor for posting?

I have some pictures of the LPD Albion taken during dock trials. They were taken on a misty November morning in 2002 and it is difficult to see details in most of them. I have managed to tweak them in Paintshop Pro and now I can't decide whether or not to post them.

Here are two samples.

Would anyone like to see more?

Really excellent PhotoShopping, davros! Even through the mist, you can make out lots of useful details.

Two phrases come to mind. 1. "A picture is worth a thousand words." and 2. "Electrons are cheap."

My feeling is that there isn't enough in the way of photos available on the internet documenting recent military hardware. So, the more the merrier.

You did a good job on cleaning them up.  I don't know how much value they would have to a modeler.  I build straight from the box so other than color schemes never really used reference photos.  Unless storage space on the server is an issue, I would say post them.  Never know who will want to see them.  (I am sort of confused...aren't they already posted?)

These are the only two so far. I am working on some others and will post them to my Fotopic collection.

Thanks for the clarificationSmile [:)].  You have some really nice photo's in there.  I really like the Festival of the Sea ones.  Oh, and don't mind my stupid questions.  After all I live in Texas where our gun ranges outnumber our schools 3 to 1.  Different philosophy towards negotiation I suppose.  Love the WWII planes also.
