How about we ignore the criteria and I instead nominate this picture as alternative?♫GoP♫TCN 14:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, add it as an Alt if you really want to. --jjron (talk) 14:46, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid a retouching doesn't help the resolution. You need more pixels, plain and simple. HereToHelp (talk to me) 19:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm afraid I have to agree... Nikthestoned 20:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
One's taken during the day, one's done at night under artificial lighting. :) --jjron (talk) 04:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw I withdraw it. Thanks for everyone who commented. I don't understand your oppose votes concerning the file size; as our featured picture criteria explains, the picture should be minimum 1000 pixel large in either width or height. But you say it is a large object, but the picture small, thus it fails the criteria. ♫GoP♫TCN 11:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • As you indicate, the 1000px is a minimum criteria. Most images are expected to be considerably bigger, especially for big things like this or landscapes that inherently contain a lot of detail. And the Alt was considerably below even the minimum. --jjron (talk) 12:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
