A Bagpiper

I discovered this some time ago while begining my study for finals. I decided to note the page I found it on a place her for nomination here later. Photo was uploaded by Solitude and can be found in the article Bagpipes.

It's unfortunately a bit too small for a featured picture (needs to be 1000 pixels square or bigger), and has some technical defects such as overexposed socks, and a distracting background. Thanks for pointing it out, but we're pretty picky here! :) Stevage 22:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I know ya’ll are picky, it took me over a year to get my first featured picture. I am one of those who keeps trying, even if the odds do not look good. Besides, as they say, ya never know until you try. ;) TomStar81 01:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Great subject, and interesting photo. But the image suffers from fairly serious quality issues as per Stevage. -- bcasterline • talk 23:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Way too small. Blurry, and the background is somewhat distracting. --Pharaoh Hound 13:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Quality is too low and the thing is unnecessarily cropped very close in to the subject, eliminating a lot of the context of the scene. --Cyde↔Weys 03:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, unfortunately. I find the background with the sharp shadow cutting through the subject and the overblown socks both to be quite distracting. BillC 00:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, cropped a bit heavily and fairly low resolution. Perhaps worth asking for the original? GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 11:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
