This image was nominated as a featured picture at Commons and, frustratingly, I was never told of the nomination. As you can see, it was a fairly damning set of opposes, though most of them fair. I've now reprocessed the images from RAW and restitched. I believe all of the stitching errors are fixed. I think I've fixed the white balance (presumably what was meant by "poor colours"). I'm assuming that the poor crop was in regards to the very tip of the antenna being cut off; is this really such a big problem? Finally, there are indeed about three small areas where the focus is off, but I think you have to be pixel peeping in order to see them, and it only means it's not quite as sharp as the rest. I think a lot of images look like those soft areas at even less resolution and still manage to pass somehow. But I'd rather have your opinions: should I give up on this one and never bother with a nomination? Julia\talk 09:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this will ever be a FP, but I need ideas here nonetheless. This picture has top EV in my mind, and it was dreadful before I tried to fix it. You can see the original on commons, and a color version I worked on many hours before finally giving up and going BW. I find the color of the original background quite poor and the color of the clay, well frankly - disgusting, and I felt that if I can't manipulate it into something bearable, then it is better just to hide it all away. It still look as though this guy is sweeting, but I don't know what to do about that. I could not find any other source than this one, which was a better starting point than what was there before, but maybe I just don't know where to look. Ideas?

- The biggest problem with the photo is the way it is taken out of context. In the original link to the photo, it shows it as a Mounted-Bust. As a Mounted Bust and in the original Photo, the light reflections you termed 'Sweatiness' do not bother the viewer near as much. Also in the original photo the viewer now understands the context of the photo versus the cropped version. There is simply more information available in the original photo, as shot. Tom Photos

The photo offers a clear photo of one of the minarets of the centuries-old Khamis Mosque in Bahrain. The fact that the minaret is photographed with the sun behind it, casts a sense of historical importance onto it and is a beautiful addition to the photo.

Images of Tall Ships under full sail are rare for a number of reasons. Firstly, the vessels do not often set full sail; the weather needs to be just right, and stable (it can take more time to set and hand the sails than there are hours of daylight). Secondly, even when full sail is set, there needs to be another vessel around to get photos like this one (or a tender needs to be launched, which increases the time required).
This photo suffers from a number of technical flaws (because it was taken with a compact digital camera); vignetting can be seen (especially in the top left corner), some of the highlights in the bow wave are blown, and the image could be sharper and have less noise on the ocean surface.
Despite these flaws, I think it is a good photo of a rare subject that substantially enhances the article. For this reason I think it is worthy of Featured Picture status.

- I'm not sure it will become FP based on the quality of the image. The rarity of the picture may be the only thing that makes it pass. Even then, it could use some corrections, most importantly, leveling the horizon. --WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 16:29, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

The picture is clear and of good quality, EV and resolution. It shows the bridge in full with the new olympic rings and is the only picture available at this time showing the bridge with the Olympic rings

- Please read WP:FPC - the resolution is too low to be a FP "It is of sufficiently high resolution to allow quality print reproduction. Still images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height; larger sizes are generally preferred." I also note that it is not currently used in the Tower Bridge article (which has at least two FPs of the bridge in it already). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

While skimming through some pictures I found this one. I think this may have a chance of being a featured picture because the car is amazingly clear; you can read every sponsor and you can even see some of the dirt on the front end of the car.

An essential visual aid towards understanding the experiment. The image is based on facts taken from the article with the exception of the electron gun which was based on facts from electron gun.

This historical television advertisement is considered a factor in Johnson's landslide victory in the 1964 presidential election over Barry Goldwater and an important turning point in political and advertising history.
