Willow Tree, Bloedel Reserve edit

 
Original - The Bloedel Reserve is a 150-acre (0.6 km²) forest garden on Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA, made by the vice-chairman of a lumber company, under the influence of the conservation movement and oriental philosophy. Prentice and Virginia Bloedel wished to 'capture the essence of the Japanese garden - the qualities of naturalness, subtlety, reverence, tranquility - and construct a Western expression of it'.

  • Support - maybe it could do with a little more sharpness, but it has my support. BTW, is this edited? diego_pmc (talk) 07:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - ineligible for FP because it isn't in an article. Cacophony (talk) 07:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, much of the image is dulled and it doesn't seem to be the best illustration of the reserve. gren グレン 17:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Prominent artifacts and it's not very encyclopedic. It's more illustrative of a willow tree than it is of the reserve, and even then the main subject is cut off. CillaИ ♦ XC 18:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - very heavily artifacted, low contrast, low enc. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 09:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Enc. is lacking, even though it's a beautiful picture. Some unsharpness in corners - maybe shot with a compact digital camera? But, keep trying, you might submit to Wikipedia:Picture peer review first for more input and/or suggestions. One right away: Always use the "best" quality for storage (largest file size). --Janke | Talk 12:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the helpful input. The camera is now out of commission, so it is time to get a new one. ∞☼Geaugagrrl(T)/(C) 05:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Vanderdecken. SpencerT♦C 11:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
