Water fountain near the art museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin 6178.jpg[edit]

Original
Reason
A stunning picture with very high technical quality and high encyclopedic value as well: I can't imagine a greater way of illustrating Fountain.

  • Support as a really cool closeup showing jets of water in motion. I doubt it's the best possible way to illustrate a fountain, though. At 1/4000 of a second we are seeing a view that's not readily discernible to the human eye, and at such a close perspective, this isn't really what a fountain looks like to most people. But still, a useful image to show people. Fletcher (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Doesn't illustrate a fountain, and doesn't have (for me) any visual grab. Clegs (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As far as illustrations of fountains go, I really like this. NauticaShades 15:57, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I saw that fountain in real life last week. Absolutely stunning. —CyclonenimT@lk? 18:56, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh. Rococo's not for me. A very fine babe-magnet on nice days, though --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support -- I like the photo, but don't find much encyclopedic value there. Maybe you can find another article it fits better in? --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Clegs. Mfield (talk) 23:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This image is currently a FP candidate at Commons, and it seems likely that it will gain it for the aforementioned qualities. There is no particular need to prove encyclopedic value - its qualities have been recognized. vlad§inger tlk 22:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
