Do people just post without looking at the thread?

Can we stop posting the pig thing? I think that's the 4th repost.

Phan Thị Kim Phúc

The Associated Press made an exception for the nudity:

...an editor at the AP rejected the photo of Kim Phuc running down the road without clothing because it showed frontal nudity. Pictures of nudes of all ages and sexes, and especially frontal views were an absolute no-no at the Associated Press in 1972...Horst argued by telex with the New York head-office that an exception must be made, with the compromise that no close-up of the girl Kim Phuc alone would be transmitted. The New York photo editor, Hal Buell, agreed that the news value of the photograph overrode any reservations about nudity.

so I would hope that we can too:

REMOVED

On June 8, 1972, South Vietnamese planes, in coordination with the American military, dropped a napalm bomb on Trang Bang, which had been attacked and occupied by North Vietnamese forces. Phúc joined a group of civilians and South Vietnamese soldiers who were fleeing from the Cao Dai Temple to the safety of South Vietnamese–held positions. A South Vietnamese Air Force pilot mistook the group for enemy soldiers and diverted to attack. The bombing killed two of Phúc's cousins and two other villagers. Associated Press photographer Nick Út earned a Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of the aftermath. It also was chosen as the World Press Photo of the Year for 1972. The image of Phúc running naked amid the chaos became one of the most haunting images of the Vietnam War. In an interview many years later, she recalled she was yelling, "Nóng quá, nóng quá" ("too hot, too hot") in the picture.

Stills from video footage showing the state of her skin:

Mods seriously need to start dishing out suspensions for ridiculous reposts, like less than 3 pages ago!

A little experiment

A little experiment, using ISO 12800, I took 15 pictures, all of which looked like the photo on the left. After stacking on Photoshop, it compared all the photos and removed noise - the pixels that changed from photo to photo were removed - resulting in the clear photo on the right. I'll apply this to some astrophotography later in the year.
- From the result, it looks more like ISO 400, or IS800, big improvement from ISO 12800

A little experiment

I reckon if you then used a third party noise reduction app like NeatImage, and then applied some clever sharpening you would get a super clear picture.
