Eastrock02 [edit]

The Soldiers and Sailors monument atop East Rock in New Haven, Connecticut.

This is a self-nomination for a picture of the Soldiers and Sailors monument on top of East Rock in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. I think the picture is eye-catching and adds substantially to the quality of the East Rock article.

Oppose An OK pic but not sufficiently special or interesting for Featured - Adrian Pingstone 19:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm sorry but this won't pass. It is a good picture and a worthy contribution to its article but an extremely high standard has been set on this page for pictures of static objects, cities, monuments and the like. This pic could be improved fairly easily with regards to contrast and accutance but even then it would need to be much larger and stunningly sharp to be a match for our existing similarly themed FPs ~ Veledan • Talk 19:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment How large is a good size for consideration?--StAkAr Karnak 13:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

. Not all the older FPs are of that quality, of course, but I think we have been privileged more recently to have photography to match or better the finest examples found in the world's periodicals, but one consequence is that it makes the competition extremely stiff! ~ Veledan • Talk 20:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Boring. It's just a monument, I'm afraid. Alr 00:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
