A good image, gives the viewer the sense of the speed even though that the category is entry level in open wheel racing; the article appears in Jeremy Metcalfe and possibly Formula Renault when that article is cleaned up; the original image was created by christianb_7 from Flickr.

I love this picture (ok, as the photographer and a keen square-rig sailor I'm doubly biased!) but I suspect others may not share my enthusiasm. I'm sure the photo-geeks will be able to pick many technical holes in it; in its defence is the fact that it's an action photo taken at sea rather than posed in a studio. It may be that the composition would be improved by cropping, but I rather like the way in which Colin is isolated in a big blue space in the original.
The caption explains the setting. The picture illustrates the fact that square-rigged sailing ships still exist and that the everyday work on them is the same as it ever was - 100 feet above the sea. It's also useful in a practical, encyclopaedic sense, clearly showing what a footrope and a flemish horse are and how they are used.
What do you think?

A Commons picture I came across in Castle, put there by an anon, but originally taken by Dario sanz.
It depicts the imposing Castillo de la Mota in Medina del Campo, and its name refers to the motte or artificial mound common in a castle's early stages. This would be replaced by Late Medieval fortification, and this picture illustrates the major features of a castle superbly - turrets, gatehouse, moat, heavy curtain walls, machicolation and crenellation, etc. - thus making it a good picture for a core topic. Cesare Borgia was imprisoned there, and it was the first monumental building in Medina designated as a Heritage Site (Bien de interés cultural). It is especially appropriate for representing the castle article as an FP because it is in what was once the Kingdom of Castile (whose very name means "castle").
As a photograph, I was impressed by the striking image of snow on a Spanish castle - evocative of both Spanish castle architecture and the Meseta Central.

Slight WP:COI here since I took the photo, so I want to see what others think of it rather than jumping in and self-nominating. This image currently appears in the article Hampstead Heath, although at some point I intend to create a separate Vale of Health article. I feel this image serves its intended purpose well, in illustrating the way in which this small village, despite being entirely surrounded by (relatively) central London is completely cut off from the remainder of the city by parkland and steep hills. The high vantage point illustrates London's unusual geography, with the twin central business districts of London Docklands and the City of London both visible, and the steep hills of the North Downs at the southern edge of the city clearly visible in the background. BTW the sky's not overexposed - that is what the London sky looks like in spring.

The Frost Bank Tower of Austin, Texas as seen from Congress Avenue.
I took this photo myself. The tower is one of only two towers in the world that uses the silvery blue glass facade. I felt that the Congress Ave. sign improved on the picture for two reasons; firstly because it identifies the tower in the picture, and secondly because Congress Avenue is in itself notable.
It is however a rather unusual view of the tower, as it looks much different from other angles. (See [2] and [3])

Stumbled across this on Flickr while looking for something else, created by user AMagill there while he was cleaning his computer case. Apart from the encyclopedic value of demonstrating how difluoroethane works to clean things up, I was just struck by so many things aesthetically: the contrasts between the splash of red and the gray/silver background, the soft gradient of the background, the sharp contrast lines of the more circular fluid drops and its general abstract beauty.
I checked the relevant articles ( difluoroethane and Dust-Off) and knew they needed this. So I downloaded the largest version, cropped out some of the less successful elements, heightened the contrast and red color a bit. I figured it ought to have a chance at FP status. The original is here, with notes from the photographer, if anyone wants to see if they can do better with it.
Comments:
I took the largest version, artifacts and all, because I knew I was going to have to crop it and only the cropped version would be more than 1000px wide. (Besides, aren't we supposed to work with the biggest versions possible?). Regardless of size, the droplets at the outer edge of the picture are out of focus and blurred (and since they're smaller, it's a distracting mess as well). I couldn't keep them and have a picture worth nominating. Daniel Case 02:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Both created by Asiir. #1 is used as the main picture in the Prairie Dog article, replacing a low quality, small size government photo.

This is an image of American cricketer John Barton King.

This is an excellent image; it has a spectacular subject, and is pleasing to the eye. It contributes to the article it's in, and helps illustrates the bird very well. I also believe the image meets all of the technical requirements of a FP. This image appears in the Great Horned Owl article, and was created by Peter Manidis ( Falxuis).
If the image meets with success here, I'd like to nominate it for Featured Picture status, but I'm afraid I'm still quite new to Wikipedia, and I have found the process quite complicated. So if someone would like to nominate the image there (if it is granted an acceptable status here), I'd greatly appreciate it.

This peer review is for a set of images, the entirety of which can be found here. While any one alone is obviously unworthy of featured status, together, the clarity that they demonstrate the concept of the electron shell (stemming from simplicity) may be worth "featured set" status. The set is comprehensive and uniform; they are all SVGs; the author for all of them is Pumbaa (original work by Greg Robson); they are all under the same acceptable license. Most do not appear in any article, but the sodium image appears in electron shell and neon appears in noble gas. I put up Uranium because it's a fairly well known element that has a high number of electrons; hydrogen makes a more natural "lead" image. There's not really much that can be done to improve these images, especially on the scale of over 100 images, without losing the simplicity. Such, I only want to gauge the community's reaction.-- Here T oHelp 13:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm very proud of this picture. I have taken quite a few pictures for Wikipedia ( you can see some of them here) and I think this picture is one of my very best.

The sky is clear and waves are rolling up the beach. The water is a very nice blue. The picture was taken with this camera.

I found this image on today's featured article, Invasion. It is also used in the articles Megastructure, Great Wall of China, and New Seven Wonders of the World. It was uploaded to Commons by one Andreas Tille, the photographer. I personally find it very striking. I like how the wall curves over the hills. He must have been quite far away to get so much of it in the picture, yet it looks like you could reach out and touch it. The color has good contrast, with the patches of snow clearly distinguishable from the grass and bare rock and dirt. It gives a good impression of the sheer size of the thing. I don't notice any compression artifiacts or blown highlights. The high-res version is 2048x1299, so it should be big enough. I think it's among the best work on Wikipedia, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in nominating it. It's licensed under the GFDL. It adds value to all of the articles it's used in. It's accurate. I wouldn't be nominating it if I didn't find it pleasing to the eye. The one problem is the caption. Most places where it's used the caption is just something like, "The Great Wall near Bejing in winter" but that's easy enough to fix if other people think the picture itself is FP worthy. Lots can be written about the Great Wall if it is to appear on the Main Page. Lastly, it doesn't seem to be promoting any particular POV.
I'm sending it to peer review to see if others think that it's FP worthy because last time I found an image and nominated it for FP I got a little burned (I didn't know how to find out the size of the image. It looked big so I thought it was big.). If it's not up to the standards let me know, but be nice about it.

I feel this image serves its intended purpose well, in illustrating the way in which this small village, despite being entirely surrounded by (relatively) central London is completely cut off from the remainder of the city by parkland and steep hills. The high vantage point illustrates London's unusual geography, with the twin central business districts of London Docklands and the City of London both visible, and the steep hills of the North Downs at the southern edge of the city clearly visible in the background. BTW the sky's not overexposed - that is what the London sky looks like in spring.

The Frost Bank Tower of Austin, Texas as seen from Congress Avenue.
I took this photo myself. The tower is one of only two towers in the world that uses the silvery blue glass facade. I felt that the Congress Ave. sign improved on the picture for two reasons; firstly because it identifies the tower in the picture, and secondly because Congress Avenue is in itself notable.
It is however a rather unusual view of the tower, as it looks much different from other angles. (See [2] and [3])

Stumbled across this on Flickr while looking for something else, created by user AMagill there while he was cleaning his computer case. Apart from the encyclopedic value of demonstrating how difluoroethane works to clean things up, I was just struck by so many things aesthetically: the contrasts between the splash of red and the gray/silver background, the soft gradient of the background, the sharp contrast lines of the more circular fluid drops and its general abstract beauty.
I checked the relevant articles ( difluoroethane and Dust-Off) and knew they needed this. So I downloaded the largest version, cropped out some of the less successful elements, heightened the contrast and red color a bit. I figured it ought to have a chance at FP status. The original is here, with notes from the photographer, if anyone wants to see if they can do better with it.

I took the largest version, artifacts and all, because I knew I was going to have to crop it and only the cropped version would be more than 1000px wide. (Besides, aren't we supposed to work with the biggest versions possible?). Regardless of size, the droplets at the outer edge of the picture are out of focus and blurred (and since they're smaller, it's a distracting mess as well). I couldn't keep them and have a picture worth nominating. Daniel Case 02:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Good encyclopedic value, and beautiful picture--love that her red lipstick matches her red tool. Also love the contrast between her blouse and the armband/leather gloves. A nice complement to the Rosie the Riveter poster at FPC now. Background/hair might be considered too dark, but I like it because it highlights her paleness and delicate features.

Both created by Asiir. #1 is used as the main picture in the Prairie Dog article, replacing a low quality, small size government photo. There are currently no other pictures of this quality on the prairie dog page. I think this shows a prairie dog in a very familiar pose and is very illustrative of prairie dogs in general. My one concern is that the face is not quite in sharp focus.
2 is more in focus. Any comments on either? -- Asiir 12:30, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

This is an image of American cricketer John Barton King. He is arguably the best cricketer in this country's history and his article is nearing the point of Featured Status (finishing up last Peer Review before FAC). The image is high resultion, but the photograph was a little on the old side. It is a unique picture of fairly good quality. With a couple edits for minor things, I think it could be a Featured Picture of a man that has been dead for more than 40 years (so there is no chance of getting any more pics out of him. This was taken during his prime in the early 1900s. Thanks so much.

This is an excellent image; it has a spectacular subject, and is pleasing to the eye. It contributes to the article it's in, and helps illustrates the bird very well. I also believe the image meets all of the technical requirements of a FP. This image appears in the Great Horned Owl article, and was created by Peter Manidis ( Falxuis).
If the image meets with success here, I'd like to nominate it for Featured Picture status, but I'm afraid I'm still quite new to Wikipedia, and I have found the process quite complicated. So if someone would like to nominate the image there (if it is granted an acceptable status here), I'd greatly appreciate it.

This peer review is for a set of images, the entirety of which can be found here. While any one alone is obviously unworthy of featured status, together, the clarity that they demonstrate the concept of the electron shell (stemming from simplicity) may be worth "featured set" status. The set is comprehensive and uniform; they are all SVGs; the author for all of them is Pumbaa (original work by Greg Robson); they are all under the same acceptable license. Most do not appear in any article, but the sodium image appears in electron shell and neon appears in noble gas. I put up Uranium because it's a fairly well known element that has a high number of electrons; hydrogen makes a more natural "lead" image. There's not really much that can be done to improve these images, especially on the scale of over 100 images, without losing the simplicity. Such, I only want to gauge the community's reaction.-- Here T oHelp 13:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I stumbled upon this image a few days ago. It was originally too small to be considered for FP, but the photographer recently uploaded a higher-res version.
I understand that in an ideal world, there are a few things that could be fixed in this photo, but for the most part these are known limitations that are particular to concert photography. These issues include:

This isn't a nomination- just a request for comments before I guess this gets taken to the delist noms. This picture was extremely grainy so I ran a despeckle and reduce noise.

I'm very proud of this picture. I have taken quite a few pictures for Wikipedia ( you can see some of them here) and I think this picture is one of my very best. It was taken from on Yabbarra Beach in the Australian south coast town of Dalmeny, New South Wales. It was taken at about 7.30am, and because it is an east facing beach, the sun is just rising. The sky is clear and waves are rolling up the beach. The water is a very nice blue. The picture was taken with this camera.
It features in the Dalmeny article, and when I update My Pictures page it will be there too. I created this image. For more details, visit the of this picture.

I found this image on today's featured article, Invasion. It is also used in the articles Megastructure, Great Wall of China, and New Seven Wonders of the World. It was uploaded to Commons by one Andreas Tille, the photographer. I personally find it very striking. I like how the wall curves over the hills. He must have been quite far away to get so much of it in the picture, yet it looks like you could reach out and touch it. The color has good contrast, with the patches of snow clearly distinguishable from the grass and bare rock and dirt. It gives a good impression of the sheer size of the thing. I don't notice any compression artifiacts or blown highlights. The high-res version is 2048x1299, so it should be big enough. I think it's among the best work on Wikipedia, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in nominating it. It's licensed under the GFDL. It adds value to all of the articles it's used in. It's accurate. I wouldn't be nominating it if I didn't find it pleasing to the eye. The one problem is the caption. Most places where it's used the caption is just something like, "The Great Wall near Bejing in winter" but that's easy enough to fix if other people think the picture itself is FP worthy. Lots can be written about the Great Wall if it is to appear on the Main Page. Lastly, it doesn't seem to be promoting any particular POV.
I'm sending it to peer review to see if others think that it's FP worthy because last time I found an image and nominated it for FP I got a little burned (I didn't know how to find out the size of the image. It looked big so I thought it was big.). If it's not up to the standards let me know, but be nice about it.
