Reason
Wikipedia is one of the few places in the entire internet universe which provides Neutral point of view and information without bias. Sometime back during projects I used to come to Wikipedia looking for stuff that would enrich them and was pretty selfish by not giving it back. So I am here but thats not the point. During that time during those boring hours of doing homework the colourfully and bright pictures that accompanied the article were my only source of respite. Thats where a Featured Picture plays its most significant role of improving the visual appeal of an article and at the same moment is of encyclopaedic valued enough to identify the topic and or object in commentary. According to me thats the most important unmentioned criteria of a FP which this picture has and this nomination is to earn the nod of the community who share the same thought as mine. For the formality this picture according to the criterion's as follows -
  1. this image is free of the drawbacks listed in the mentioned criteria.
  2. High resolution, 2,592 × 1,944 pixels is sufficient enough if my understanding of the criteria is correct.
  3. being the owner and photographer my opinion on this criteria will be biased nonetheless even if not consciously so I leave it for the community to decide.
  4. this picture was captured and release under CC BY-SA 3.0 so its definitely a free image
  5. EV - this also for the community to decide.
  6. verifiable, I think so.
  7. I am new to uploading files in commons so description-wise I have tried my best and have also provided geographical location.
  8. No digital manipulation. It was extremely hard for me to reject the temptation to edit this in Adobe Photoshop CS6 but for the pictures originalities sake I refrained from doing it. If asked corrections will be made.

Phew! I finally did it! Even if the image fails the process I will not be one-bit/byte sad as clicking this one gave me immense happiness one that anyone would not get even after getting all the wealth in this universe so no regrets. --Sohambanerjee1998 14:41, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
