St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church (Columbia, SC)[edit]

Original - St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in 2009

I'm really not sure of the criteria for Valued Pictures. The camera I used could never make an FP, but I think this picture might be a possible VP. This church is on the NRHP. My image is straight, includes the whole building, has a nice blue sky and looks good in the infobox. (There's no moire effect, at least.) Like the previous image I replaced in the article, the image is of the back of the building, but it is next to impossible to get a good shot of the front, which is always obscured by trees and parked cars. Since I took this in December, the trees are bare and one can see more of the architecture. Any input would be valued :) as I am new to this. Thanks.

Comments
  • I'm not really up to date on what goes promoted at VPC, so it's hard for me to estimate its chances. The main technical faults are that it's noisy with some odd banding in the sky, it is somewhat obstructed by trees and playground equipment, and it has perspective distortion. I like to shoot architecture and I know it's often hard to get a good angle, and this seems like a decent but not really exceptional picture. Fletcher (talk) 23:44, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Fletcher's comments regarding the technical shortcomings of the image, so you're right about the image not meeting FP technical criteria. In terms of nominating it as a valued picture I think the quality is sufficient, the framing and composition are good, and is valuable in illustrating an article in the infobox since more than a month, however I am not sure if it meets the criteria for being "among Wikipedia's most educational work of a given subject". Neverthless, if you feel that you can make a case in support of its educational value, feel free to nominate it. Elekhh (talk) 23:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Conclusion
  • Will not pass at FPC. Unlikely to pass VPC but possibly worth a nomination. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:32, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
