Renomination: The primary objection
last time seemed to be that it was too small. This seems no longer to be the case, with the new expanded pretty version direct from its creator's web site. It's still incredibly cute, and does an excellent job of illustrating its article.

This photo was shot on
July 17
2004 in
Enschede,
Netherlands by John Kerstholt (not a
Wikipedian). The picture is linked in
Thunderstorm which I think it adds very well to as it illustrates the impressive nature of a
thunderstorm quite convincingly. The picture quality is less than optimal, but good considering the circumstances under which the photo was taken.

Made this one from scratch in Photoshop based mainly on lecture notes and the odd bit from a text-book. It makes clear what can be pretty complicated to summarise or get clear in your head, and is useful in the
gastric acid page (although looking at it now, the page isn't as detailed as the graphic). What I'd really like to do is be able to define a clickable map, and have parts of the image (ie. each sensor) link to the appropriate wikipedia page, but I guess we're going to have to wait for that feature. Not sure it's good enough for featured picture, but wanted to see what people thought. -

US Navy photo of an
F/A-18 Hornet breaking the
sound barrier. The best illustration of going
transonic that I've ever seen, and a stunningly eyecatching photo in its own right. --

This is a photo showing inflation of a hot air balloon. The
hot air balloon article describes how hot air balloons are inflated, and also compares the heater to a "
flamethrower"-like device. It's my opinion that this photo depicts that information in an impressive way. I am not a professional photographer, but this is the best photo I've ever taken, and I'm excited to share it in a useful way that everyone benefits from. (I have a higher-res copy that I can upload if the quality of this one is not sufficient)

This is stunning, formidable, soaring, and very impressive. The gray London sky is a complement. Created by ChrisO. -- Merovingian✍ Talk 17:14, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

I came across this picture on the German wikipedia, and it took me aback for a second. I think that the perspective used is quite striking, and illustrates the subject fairly well. German user
[1] (W.J. Pilsak) took the photo. --

User:Wapcaplet prepared this superb diagram of the
Enigma machine rotor after I sent him a dozen or more photographs gleaned from the web. This kind of illustration shows what the various parts are (and how they fit together) much more clearly than, say, a photo (eg,
Image:Enigma-rotors.jpg, which is also used).

Exactly which images are featured here? Are all 100 photos in that collection of featured quality? Hardly any of them have even been uploaded to Wikipedia. What are we doing featuring images that are offsite? As with the Santorini page above, I suggest that if any of these are featurable, they are uploaded, added to articles and then go through the normal nomination process rather than being listed as featured as a bulk collection.
