• Oppose, I'm afraid. The weather means the contrast is poor, so it's really tough to see the island or the buildings. Also (sorry to be hypercritical, but) Tiburon makes for kind of a dull background. A shot from Tiburon (having the city skyline in the background) or from Treasure Island (having the golden gate in the background) would show the island's context better. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:08, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

      • Thanks! http://pdphoto.org/PictureDetail.php?mat=pdef&pg=5645 is the image as presented there. Such detail! Did you have to reduce that image to fit Wikipedia standards? - Bevo 19:42, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • I reduced it because it was a very large file. On most photos (and I'm not sure what the Wikipedia standard is, if there is one), I reduce to about 650 or 750 px wide in order to try to keep the files under 100 Kb (when the wiki nags me for the file being too large). This one was an exception because I couldn't get it under 100K, but, again, I was just trying to keep it smallish in physical size. I'm otherwise not opposed to having a larger version if others agree. RadicalBender 20:04, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
          • OK, since the original is only slightly larger than the version now being used (now = 115227, the original = 158,853) I'll do a replacement. - Bevo 20:28, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• Maybe not striking enough to be a featured photo, but good for an amateur photographer.

P.S - The streetlamp is really distracting. I think if you could get rid of the streetlamp and had taken it from a better angle (maybe more towards the front of the building), it would definitely be a good candidate for a featured photo. Other than that, it's accurate, informative, and adds to the article. (Maybe you might also want to add photos of the inside of the hotels as well)

P.P.S - Actually, the more I look at that photo, the more I'm beginning to like it. Very clean appearance, and very accurate. I'm not sure if the streetlamp should or shouldn't be there, since an accurate representation of real life would include the streetlamp, although it detracts from the visual appeal of the photo. I think it's just the weird angle of the photo that holds it back. - Spencer195 01:37, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

For the curious, here it is without the streetlight. - Hephaestos| § 07:19, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Wow, great Photoshop job.  :) - Spencer195 03:24, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

IMHO You should keep the streetlight, it make the picture more "something else" rather than just building shoot from the street. (still i don't think it's a picture that merite the featured) | Chmouel 02:28, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If you want to play some collage you can get the almost same picture from here and add the top of the cross. The new saturation look good for me, but maybe you may want to do the change on the original big picture available from my website (but please don't put the high resolution on wikipedia crop it like the old one).

Fish almost seems to get lost in the background at first glance. RADICALBENDER ★ 16:17, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC) Oppose. It sure looks better when expanded to full size, but I'm distracted by that second fish behind the one in focus. - Bevo 22:47, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Support, nice colors. — d8uv (t) 03:08, Apr 17, 2004 (UTC) Not promoted. 3 Support, 2 Oppose. - Bevo 14:51, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hualien Temple

HuaLien-Temple.jpg from Hualien City, uploaded by User:PhiloVivero Nominated by User:Hephaestos Oppose - odd composition. Lupin 10:27, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC) Oppose - poor composition - Gaz 14:11, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC) Oppose. Very clunky feel. LUDRAMAN | T 19:21, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC) Neutral. Maybe cropping would help by eliminating the left side. - Bevo 16:39, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC) Agreed. — d8uv (t) 03:08, Apr 17, 2004 (UTC) Not promoted. 1 Support, 3 Oppose, 2 Neutral. - Bevo 14:51, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Che Guevara statue

From Che Guevara. This statue is just a few meters away from the exact place where Che was executed. Credit for the photo goes to a co-worker of mine called Augusto Starita -- Pilaf 02:19, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC) Mhmmmmmmmmmmmm........yes. LUDRAMAN | T 19:28, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC) Second. the picture look more impressive than the place in real :) | Chmouel 09:59, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC) Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... No - is it not possible to back up a bit and get a better angle? - Gaz 12:28, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC) See this other picture, from La Higuera. IMO, the alternative picture is better than the one nominated. - Bevo 15:49, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC) Support. I was going to complain that the colours and the reverential angle give it an inappropriately religious look, but in the context of the article I suppose images of Guevara have an iconic role for some, and so the photo is entirely appropriate. Moreover, its unintentional similarity to Jeff Koons' Michael Jackson sculpture gives it an ironic postmodernism (no, really). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:50, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Oppose. Of all the images on the article, I think this adds to the article the least. fabiform | talk 12:47, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Support. i think that because it doesnt show alot, leaves a lot to your imagination, such as what he's looking at exactly...-- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 18:17, 2004 Apr 7 (UTC) Support.

Chateau Wood Ypres 1917

A landscape of Ypres uploaded by User:Gsl for Trench warfare. It's a breathtaking picture, with excellent composition, and shows both the human aspect of the subject and shattered landscape. Support. Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:40, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Wow. fabiform | talk 12:49, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Some comments before I decide. At first I expected an image of a trench as the most prominent image in Trench warfare. http://www.liv-coll.ac.uk/pa09/europetrip/brussels/swood.htm explains how this site is nearby a trenched site. I wish Trench warfare made this connection more explicit. - Bevo 22:57, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) What Gaz says below has helped me to formulate my thoughts. I've seen many photos of trenches. I see soldiers packed together and focus on them. This photo mentally drags me out of the trenches to the land outside that the trenches were dug to defend... and the destruction that the fighting has wrought. fabiform | talk 00:50, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC) Trench warfare has plenty of images of trenches. This makes a perfect "headline" photo for the article and deserves to be featured in its own right. (but I'm biased - they are Aussies) - Support - Gaz 23:50, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) Support. Added it also to Passchendaele. - Bevo 14:42, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC) Promoted. 4 Support, 0 Oppose. - Bevo 14:53, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Radcliffe Camera

Radcliffe Camera; I took the photograph, and now looking at it after a while, found it striking. -- Kaihsu 20:37, 2004 Apr 25 (UTC) Withdrawn; MykReeve should nominate his own superior shot. -- Kaihsu 10:34, 2004 Apr 26 (UTC) Support - Nice picture; also a great improvement on the other one in the article. -- Andrew 20:55, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC) Oppose - kind of small, don't you think? Do you have a higher resolution version? →Raul654 20:58, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC) Oppose - image isn't centred. I submit Image:Radcliffe-camera-oxford.jpg as an alternative. - MykReeve 21:08, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC) The alternative image is not used by the article. Did you intend this image as a nomination? (It seems to me a good thing to do, to replace the one similar image in that article with your alternative image). - Bevo 23:58, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC) I've replaced the similar image in the article with my one. - MykReeve 01:23, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) Oppose - Missing a sense of symmetry which would "make" this shot. MykReeve, are you nominating your shot? - Gaz 03:03, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC) Not promoted. Withdrawn by nominator. - Bevo 19:40, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
