Wikipedia:Picture peer review/UN Swords into Plowshares Statue
[edit]
This is an impressive image of the USSR's gift to the United Nations in 1959. This image appeared on the "Did You Know column" together with the DYK'd article: United Nations Art Collection on August 8, 2007. I, User:Rodsan18, is the author/photographer of this image. Photographed on a sunny day (around noon) on August 4, 2007. I received a request to upload this image to Wikimedia Commons just a few minutes after uploading it. And I did upload it there. It is available there as "Image:Image-UN Swords into Plowshares Statue.JPG". It has a link there on this image's talk page. I hope it becomes a "picture of the day".

Comments:
- Although the image does show the sculpture well, and it's wonderful that you took the image and created the article, it's not a featured picture. Some technical issues include that the sides of the buildings should be vertical, the statue itself is overexposed (and has lots of white spots with no information, which are called "blown highlights"), there is purple fringing on many edges, and it's a bit grainy at full resolution. As far as the composition, I'm not personally a big fan of the angle on the statue, and I'd probably want to take the picture from higher up so I could get all tree as background, but it is good composition in that you've got the entire statue against the dark building.
