Macroxiphus sp cricket

  • Support as nominator -- Muhammad 08:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support Even though there's a little bit of blur on the antennae but I don't think it can be helped at all and it doesn't detract from the EV.Terri G (talk) 15:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support Very interesting. I recommend you crop a bit off the left, to center the subject. smooth0 7 0 7 (talk) 02:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support Man, you have some awesome insect photos. and again, it could do with a crop from the left. still an awesome photo - The Talking Sock 22:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support - Got the wow factor, and good EV. —  neuro (talk) (review) 04:23, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak support : All the 6 legs and both antennae are out of focus. I still support because of 'wow' it gives to me. - DSachan (talk) 17:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support: Noooo, please don't crop it! It's perfect just as it is. What a brilliant capture of bizarre behaviour in the animal kingdom, :-) Mae din \ talk 20:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support High EV. Lycaon (talk) 12:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose Less than a megapixel on the subject. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Excellent point... was thinking that myself. ~ ωαdεstεr 16 «talk stalk» 23:11, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
    • A megapixel is not the min requirement. The environment the insect is captured in has EV as well. -- Muhammad 03:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
      • No, it isn't, but its still pretty small. You'd still be able to gather that this was a leaf with a tighter image. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
        • A tighter crop I made was around 1000px 2 . -- Muhammad 04:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose A little too much blur and too little detail for my tastes. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose - As above. I don't like the angle and composition either. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
    • This is the most encyclopedic angle as it clearly shows how the katydid resembles the ant and how it is also slightly structurally different. -- Muhammad 04:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak support per nom. Size is OK by me. DOF issues are a bit distracting, but my main concern is no full species ID. --jjron (talk) 13:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Subject is small in the image, but image is of high quality and while DOF is an issue, head and thorax (and hind legs) are almost entirely in focus. Supports offer good arguments. Consensus is nearly met (depending on how you define "weak" in numbers). Therefore: Promoted Image:Macroxiphus sp cricket.jpg ~ ωαdεstεr 16 «talk stalk» 05:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)



Horseshoes, Yuma

  • Support as nominator --Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 00:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose . Nice restoration, but not a whole lot of EV for horseshoes or field day (as it is easily reproducible). Also, no wow factor. Kaldari (talk) 02:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Wasn't aware that the wow factor was a requirement, sorry. -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 02:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
      • It has to "illustrates the subject in a compelling way". Since nothing is historically unique about this photo (someone could easily recreate it today), why should we settle for a drab, grainy, black and white photo to illustrate the article? Kaldari (talk) 15:55, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
        • It's an illustration of the game of horseshoes in the 1940s. I understand the game went through a number of changes, including the height of the thingamajig sticking out of the ground (can you tell I'm not an expert? :) -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 22:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment - I like the image and it's historically significant, but at the moment its encyclopaedic use doesn't meet requirements. Its use in horseshoe is barely relevant (they're holding horseshoes, so what? How does this actually illustrate a horseshoe or its use? What are they doing with them?), and I can't immediately see its relevance to field day . Okay, I need to learn to read, scrap that - I just realised the difference between horseshoe and horseshoes. Now that is relevant - it shows the age of the game, and the culture and environment in which it was played. However I still think we can squeeze a bit more EV out of this as an example of Lee's work and the material that the FSA's depression photography program gathered around this time (with reference to Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange etc.) —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Support . The EV for horseshoes is clear to me. (I'm American; this game is well known in the United States). Horizon doesn't bother me either: perhaps they were on an incline (the fenceposts on the left hand side and the posture of the two men are pretty close to vertical.) Spikebrennan (talk) 16:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak support -- not sure I like the tilted angle, and the photo looks a bit fuzzy, but it seems to meet our requirements for a featured picture. T empo   di   V alse ♪ 13:36, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose A good restoration effort, but I don't think the EV is strong enough. Fletcher (talk) 21:52, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Weak support - Best image for subjects illustrated, but might be better as a valued picture. Ceran thor 13:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose Limited EV since it only shows half the game. We really need to see what he's aiming at. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
    • He's aiming at a small metal post, similar to the one at his feet. I don't see how you could really take a good photograph that includes the players and the target post-- either you're going to have depth of field issues, or a lot of uninteresting space in the middle. Spikebrennan (talk) 13:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Scott Monument, Edinburgh

  • Support as nominator --Donama (talk) 04:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose . While it's a striking photograph, it doesn't tell me anything about the monument. I had to go to the page to have any idea what the photograph was representing. In short, it's great picture, a terrible illustration. Also, most of the picture is out of focus, and the HDR looks excessive. Mostlyharmless (talk) 04:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose I actually like the composition, but it's the focus that really irks me. ~ ωαdεstεr 16 «talk stalk» 04:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
    • You might like it, but you must admit the composition makes it virtually impossible to get any real information from
