Newport beach[edit]

Reason: This is the first picture that I've uploaded that I'm really proud of. I believe that it shows a beautiful piece of scenery and contains many interesting quirks and features, such as the family walking along the quaint stone path that is barely visible. It also illustrates tides as the tidal line is clearly visible on the rocks.
Proposed caption: The rocky shoreline of Newport, Rhode Island showing a clear line where high tide occurs. Narraganset Bay, which eventually empties into the Atlantic Ocean, is seen in the background.

Very Weak Oppose It's a nice looking picture, but upon further inspection, there's a tour group or something walking through. T (Formerly Known as FireSpike) 05:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - very nice composition, but the picture is mostly out of focus. Also per T, that group of people should not be there. Luca 07:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm not totally sure about the person issue, but it could be good as it gives the viewer an approximation to gauge the size of the cliff. Geoking66_talk 02:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - lack of clarity. Matt Deres 14:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - superior personal landscape photo, but of limited encyclopedic value. Doesn't seem to show anything unique about Newport even if it can be used in the other articles. --Dhartung | Talk 12:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
