Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Antelope Canyon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Antelope-Canyon
Edit 1 - Colors touched, noise reduced and sharpened. By Arad
Reason
It´s a great picture; technical not perfect, but even so really stunning in my opinion. It was the 7th place on Wikimedia-Commons "Picture of the year 2008" contest. I made it 2006 in the Antelope Canyon in the USA (Arizona).
Articles this image appears in
I belive, no article uses this picture, but it´s beyond question, that the picture is relevant for Wikipedia.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a picture of Antelope Canyon there, but I'll leave it up to the people working on the article. SpencerT♦C 11:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
-- and there were two before, one of upper Antelope, one of Lower. I just replaced a weak foto with a stronger one. Agree it would be nice to have more variety, but....
I prefer the original edit -- more saturated color, more atmospheric. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 19:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • SupportWeak oppose Despite seeming a little soft, I prefer the composition of this image, and the way it conveys light and space certainly better than 2 of the other FPs.

  • Oppose I prefer the other FPs of the same place. smooth0707 (talk) 12:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support Both (Preference for Edit) - It has a better composition that the current FP. --18:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arad (talkcontribs)
  • Oppose Both Poor clarity/definition - artefacts going all over the place. The exisiting FP has far superior techinical qualities - and for such a well photographed subject P&S quality (as in this photo) just doesn't cut it for FP level IMO --Fir0002 12:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
