Oppose Far too small, the guideline size is at least 1000 pixels horizontally or vertically. This one is 449 by 197 pixels. So there's no point in putting it up for FPC - Adrian Pingstone 16:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, you have ignored a fundamental FPC rule which is that the horizontal or vertical size should be at least 1000 pixels. This pic is 500 by 643 - Adrian Pingstone 16:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I took this picture last month while at home for Thanksgiving. Though I really like the current featured picture, it shows only a small portion of the Long Beach skyline while at night. The photo I am proposing is more current, shows more of the skyline, and includes the boat docks. I feel it better represents the downtown area as a whole and would give the reader more of an idea of what Long Beach looks like. Before I figured out how to try and nominate it, I wanted other opinions.

Oppose Sorry, no chance, far too blurry (but beautiful to look at, just not FPC material) - Adrian Pingstone 16:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I recently found this freely-licensed article on Flickr.com, and was struck by its quality. It is sharp, aesthetically pleasing and all the more impressive considering the difficult nature of photographing the subject (high speed). There is slight motion blur, but I think that this enhances the image. The image demonstrates the nature and speed of Formula One in general, and Mark Webber (the driver), WilliamsF1 (the team) and Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours (the track) specifically. Although it does not meet the normal FP size requirements, it is larger than the only current F1 Featured Picture ( Image:Webber usgp 2004.jpg) and, in my opinion, this is outweighed by the quality and significance of the image, as it could have only been taken on three days in 2006.
It currently appears in Mark Webber and Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, and was taken by cobber_cpd.

I'm very proud of this picture. I have taken quite a few pictures for Wikipedia ( you can see them here) and I think this picture is one of my very best. It was taken from a park in the Sydney suburb of Tamarama during a sculpture exhibition. It was taken in the late afternoon when the sun is fairly low, and the sky is almost clear. The picture was taken with this camera.
It features in the Sculpture by the Sea article, and when I update My Picture page it will be there too. I created this image.
I hope you like the picture, and look forward to reading your comments.

An impressive panoramic image of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire by Commons user Klaus with K. It illustrates the historically important site well, showing the entire side of the structure, including outbuildings and the tower. The image is of a high resolution, so details of the stonework can be seen, and there is no evidence of stitching to be found in the sky or building. In addition, the lighting gives the photograph a suitably "brooding" quality inkeeping with the nature of the site.

This is an absolutlely amazing photo shot by a United States Navy person on the 17th of May 1987, after an Iraqi fighter jet mistook the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate USS Stark for an enemy ship and fired two anti-ship missiles into the vessel. I allways found this picture very moving and powerful in a dramatic way, but until recently the photo we had of it was only a few hundred pics big, well short of the mandated 100px by 1000px needed to be FP eligable. Today I checked up on the Stark article to see if anything had changed, and was delighted to see that a much larger version of this image had been uploaded; sadly though, this new image looks hideous when enlarged to full size, but I think it can pass if someone cleans it up. The image is a US Navy photo (photographer is/was unnamed), and currently appears in the articles Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark (FFG-31), 1987, and Exocet.

This is a picture of Beck's Mill in Washington County, Indiana. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. Of the four pictures I took of the mill, I think it is the best example of a midwestern mill in need of restoration. I think the fall color helps to make it a distingished photo.

I took the following photograph at Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia as a group of Common Brushtail Possums were clamouring around our campsite looking for food scraps. The nose of the possum is slightly out of focus, but, other than that, I can't see anything significantly wrong with the photograph (other than, of course, the relatively low resolution). The eye of the possum also seems to bear a battle scar or two, which I always thought was cool. I was just looking to get everybody else's thoughts, since my opinion is quite obviously biased!

This is one of my best pictures from my trip to Rotorua, stitched from 9 shots and is very sharp, stitches beautifully (even without a tripod) and has very little clipping. My concern is the most left part of the panorama which the image was improperly focused or something and I forgot to check it and now I can't do anything about it. This is the only photo of the Rotorua Museum on WP and commons and adds to Rotorua as this is one of the main tourist attractions within the city of Rotorua.

This picture, in the Burning Man article, is I think quite a good and encyclopedic picture, it is just very grainy. I was just wondering if someone could run it through a good grain-reducing edit as well as maybe cropping out the blown-highlight area, so I could nominate it at FPC.

First of all, the movement of Barnard's Star compared to the surrounding stars is amazing. It has importance in the field of astronomy, and is of relatively good quality for an image of a star. This may be a bit of a personal opinion, but I wonder what could throw a star that fast. I have my own hypothesis that a black hole did. I also wonder how long until it runs into something. That would definitely make FP status!
It is in, of course Barnard's Star.

Not too sure if it can squeak by under Historical exemption, as the image is under 1000 pixels on one side, but it is of high quality. Dunno if tweaking the image bigger would screw up the image more. This particular note demonstrates the neoclassical allegorical motif that makes this series unique in the Educational Series.
While taken from a commercial site, because it is an image of a product of currency produced by the United States Goverment, the image automaticlly falls under public domain and is not subjected to copyright.

I took this picture on a visit to Telluride. I like it because it shows the huge mountain in the middle which grabs your attention, but also other details. The waterfall is one the of the highest in Colorado and above it sits a large house. To the left of the waterfall and house is a criscrossing pattern which is a road that leads to the house and a trail. Zoom in on the high resolution and you can see all these things well and even follow the river running from the waterfall. I also like the snowcapped peaks in the backround. Overall the best part of the picture is how the sheer rock wall cascades into green broken up rock.
I put it in the Telluride, CO article but could probably put it soemwhere else.

I took this picture myself, and I think it's a beautiful picture (if I do say so myself), and I hope you agree. It's a beautiful area. However it's only used in the article about the school, which is an extremely short article about an extremely small school, so while it does add to that article, it's not widely visible. But I think it certainly meets and exceeds all the criteria in Wikipedia:What is a featured picture?.

I took this photograph myself. This image has been placed on both the Ant and Honeydew (secretion) pages, as I could not find suitably representative images. The image is a bit noisy due to ISO 800, and was taken handheld at f/2.8 (hence the very shallow DOF) but I would like geenral feedback. I believe the technical shortcomings are acceptable considering the high level of magnification and lighting, and the clear depicion of honeydew.
UPDATE: Please see updated version (Edit 1, below original) which meets the minimum resolution requirements, and with minial noise processing. Problem is, with my software ( GIMP), any additional noise removal starts to remove vital detail.

I think that the combined historical significance and relative good quality of this image could propel it to featured picture status. However, it has some techincal problems (slight noise, low contrast, weird pixely black parts). The problem is that I really have no editing experience, so I was wondering if anyone could do a good edit, so I can nominate it. Thanks in advance.

This is a self-made photograph of an unidentified species of
Swallow (though I'm not even really sure that it's not a
Swift, just guessing) in flight. I don't quite consider this of "Featured Picture" quality, but I was hoping for some help as to what kind of bird this is (please see the image page itself for more details regarding location/circumstances), so it can be placed on the relevant page.
This is a 100 crop of the original, so I can't scale it bigger than the current 1100px, but considering the nature of the picture (a very fast, low-flying bird) I though this should be of acceptable quality, since a quick browse through the Swallow page(s) didn't show any in flight. If anybody thinks it's FP quality, all the better.
UPDATE: Thank you, Bryoman, for aiding identification, I'll place it in the appropriate page. It was in the vicinity of palms, yes :-)

I have allways thought this was an interesting picture. I took it on the outskirts of Pnomh Penh in Cambodia in 1991 during the U.N peace keeping operation. Local kids used the abandoned tank as a climbing frame. Unfortunately I have no idea what sort of tank this is,who left it there and why, or what (if anything) has happened to it since. I wondered if anyone else could add these details and if Wikipedia could find a use for the picture. Dave59 17:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Not too sure if it deserves to be a Featured Picture, but I thought it was worth a shot. Just let me know what you think. It appears in Red Panda and Ailurus fulgens

This picture, in the Burning Man article, is I think quite a good and encyclopedic picture, it is just very grainy. I was just wondering if someone could run it through a good grain-reducing edit as well as maybe cropping out the blown-highlight area, so I could nominate it at FPC.

First of all, the movement of Barnard's Star compared to the surrounding stars is amazing. It has importance in the field of astronomy, and is of relatively good quality for an image of a star. This may be a bit of a personal opinion, but I wonder what could throw a star that fast. I have my own hypothesis that a black hole did. I also wonder how long until it runs into something. That would definitely make FP status!
It is in, of course Barnard's Star.

Not too sure if it can squeak by under Historical exemption, as the image is under 1000 pixels on one side, but it is of high quality. Dunno if tweaking the image bigger would screw up the image more. This particular note demonstrates the neoclassical allegorical motif that makes this series unique in the Educational Series.
While taken from a commercial site, because it is an image of a product of currency produced by the United States Goverment, the image automaticlly falls under public domain and is not subjected to copyright.

Just want to see if this is good enough to go into the candidates page.

I took this shot to try and improve on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Onion. I cut an onion in half to show the cross section, and did not use such a shallow DoF.

I took this picture on a visit to Telluride. I like it because it shows the huge mountain in the middle which grabs your attention, but also other details. The waterfall is one the of the highest in Colorado and above it sits a large house. To the left of the waterfall and house is a criscrossing pattern which is a road that leads to the house and a trail. Zoom in on the high resolution and you can see all these things well and even follow the river running from the waterfall. I also like the snowcapped peaks in the backround. Overall the best part of the picture is how the sheer rock wall cascades into green broken up rock.
I put it in the Telluride, CO article but could probably put it soemwhere else.

The image appears in the article Uppsala Cathedral, an article which is a part of the Wikiproject Sweden. The goal is to raise swedish related articles standard to Good quality and then FA. As a little side project I have had hopes of getting some picutes which appears in these articles fetured. The images was vreated by Wikimedia Commons user Olli hki.

both Safin and his coach are fairly sharp, and that I had the good luck of getting the ball in the picture. It appears in the article Marat Safin, and is the only picture of him in the article.

This provides an interesting shot of the train in action with the Chicago skyline in the background. It was taken by User:JeremyA Although it's not super high resolution, the color balance is good and it is free of artifacts. The only article that links to the pic is the article about the station.

I took this picture myself, and I think it's a beautiful picture (if I do say so myself), and I hope you agree. It's a beautiful area. However it's only used in the article about the school, which is an extremely short article about an extremely small school, so while it does add to that article, it's not widely visible. But I think it certainly meets and exceeds all the criteria in Wikipedia:What is a featured picture?.

I took this photograph myself. This image has been placed on both the Ant and Honeydew (secretion) pages, as I could not find suitably representative images. The image is a bit noisy due to ISO 800, and was taken handheld at f/2.8 (hence the very shallow DOF) but I would like geenral feedback. I believe the technical shortcomings are acceptable considering the high level of magnification and lighting, and the clear depicion of honeydew.
UPDATE: Please see updated version (Edit 1, below original) which meets the minimum resolution requirements, and with minial noise processing. Problem is, with my software ( GIMP), any additional noise removal starts to remove vital detail.

I think that the combined historical significance and relative good quality of this image could propel it to featured picture status. However, it has some techincal problems (slight noise, low contrast, weird pixely black parts). The problem is that I really have no editing experience, so I was wondering if anyone could do a good edit, so I can nominate it. Thanks in advance.

Came across this nicely-composed picture at Gannet. What do y'all think? (I particularly like the sharpness of the birds' heads contrasted with the out-of-focus glints on the water behind. The photographer is commons:User:Michael Haferkamp.)

I wanted to place this map here for review while I finish rewriting this article (current draft here) as the current article uses an outdated definition. I created the image myself to illustrate the rewrite and I think it currently fits the criteria for becoming a Featured Picture, eventualy. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 10:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the image fulfill all the criteria to be featured: It is of high quality and resolution, it is pleasing to the eye and so on.

This picture show the Bryce Canyon Hoodoos at sunset. I think it is a great example of hoodoos. It is a featured picture in the commons and in the Bryce Canyon and Hoodoos articles.

I took this image when I saw the the current Habanero featured picture was on it's way to being delisted. I am posting it here for advice on if it has a chance on the FPC. It is used in the article Habanero where it replaced the old overexposed one.

feature worthy, IMO... all in one picture... egads (did i just say egads??? i think i dont deserve electricity.) -- Cannibalicious!
im not sure if this should be featured - it has everything going for it but size. nothing else like it on the wiki, far as i can tell =) -- Cannibalicious!
This is a picture I took of a bonfire - I think it would be a good featured picture. Thanks

This is a self-made photograph of an unidentified species of
Swallow (though I'm not even really sure that it's not a
Swift, just guessing) in flight. I don't quite consider this of "Featured Picture" quality, but I was hoping for some help as to what kind of bird this is (please see the image page itself for more details regarding location/circumstances), so it can be placed on the relevant page.
This is a 100 crop of the original, so I can't scale it bigger than the current 1100px, but considering the nature of the picture (a very fast, low-flying bird) I though this should be of acceptable quality, since a quick browse through the Swallow page(s) didn't show any in flight. If anybody thinks it's FP quality, all the better.
UPDATE: Thank you, Bryoman, for aiding identification, I'll place it in the appropriate page. It was in the vicinity of palms, yes :-)

I recently uploaded the big original version of Spirit's orginal photograph. You may recognize parts of it as a cut version was widely publicised. I have already put it in Spirit rover, but I'm sure it could be found other homes. Any suggestions?

Made by me with QuteMol, added halo-fog to contrast. I tried to best angle the molecule to make all atoms visible, as a flat-plane view would hide many facets of Hydrogen atoms (15). Resized it with Photoshop. C11 H15 N O2). The MDMA article doesn't really need another image, but maybe another chemistry subject does. Maybe even the QuteMol page?

I have allways thought this was an interesting picture. I took it on the outskirts of Pnomh Penh in Cambodia in 1991 during the U.N peace keeping operation. Local kids used the abandoned tank as a climbing frame. Unfortunately I have no idea what sort of tank this is,who left it there and why, or what (if anything) has happened to it since. I wondered if anyone else could add these details and if Wikipedia could find a use for the picture. Dave59 17:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
This is a really unusual photo which I would like to see in an article - not sure what though. -- Fir0002 08:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
