Bangle[edit]

A collection glass bangles (Hindi:Kangan), which are ornaments worn mainly by women, on their arms and wrists. They are usually circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. Bangles are part of traditional sub-continental jewelry.

Reason: This is an image of the jewelery item Bangles, taken by Flickr user Surajram, its flickr page can be seen here. It is licensed under a free creative commons's license, and it appears on the article Bangle. This photos has some beautiful colours, and its one of the best composed pictures I have seen of bangles ever! I also think its one of most visually pleasing photos I've seen on Wikepedia, I have nominated it so that I can know if there are others who agree with me on the great quality of this image.

oppose depth of field is too small to really see their shape, and the stacking makes this worse. Debivort 21:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Pretty - yes. Descriptive - no. This doesn't actually show what a bangle is - therefore unencyclopaedic. Try listing at Commons FP perhaps? Witty Lama 21:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Witty Lama. Too much is out of focus. --Phoenix (talk) 21:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose a. Jewelry should be worn; b. Illegal license ($). ~ trialsanderrors 16:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It has a creative commons license, how could that be illegal? --Zainub 17:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Noncommercial is not acceptable, see [2]. ~ trialsanderrors 18:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - That link is broken unless one has a Commons account, so care to explain what you're getting at here? --Phoenix (talk) 03:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - A free license requires that the image can be used for commercial purposes. This one is a non-commercial license only (the crossed-out $ sign). Hence it is not eligible for Featured Picture here. ~ trialsanderrors 03:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

        I stand corrected trialsanderrors, you can de-list this nomination if you want. --Zainub 07:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        You can of course ask the original photographer if s/he wants to make it available under a commercial license. ~ trialsanderrors 17:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
