Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs, Colorado

rotated 8 degrees cw

This photo shows off Colorado Springs. I think it deserves to be a featured picture since it shows a great landmark of the United States. User:Miskatonic has uploaded some really good quality images to Wikipedia (see user page) like this one I am nominating. It is currently used in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Garden of the Gods.

Nominate and support. - Thorpe | talk 21:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose too tilty. Johntex\^talk 03:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
support The lean is an optical illusion. Notice the trees are straight up and down. Miskatonic 04:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, awesome picture. --Liface 04:56, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Does lean, too! ;-) Weak support for the rotated and slightly sharpened version that I uploaded. I think we might find an even better photo of this place... --Janke | Talk 06:02, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the new image. It is of much better quality now. --Thorpe | talk 07:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Second Image Nice veiw. Alvinrune ^TALK 22:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support either version. It's an interesting image, and it makes a useful contribution to both articles. bcasterline^talk 22:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Been there twice and it's an accurate representation. Illustrates article well.--Dakota ~ ° 08:04, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Photo does poor job of "showing off Colorado Springs", as you can barely see any of the city. I've been to Garden of Gods several times and don't think this is a particularly striking photo of the park. --MattWright (talk) 17:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It is a decent image, but I don't think that it is very stunning. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree with above --Fir0002 www 23:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I live in Colorado Springs, and yes, I agree, it shows off our scenic area :) Indeed, most of the city is not showing, but isn't that the case in many landscape photographs? — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 02:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nice scenery and nature, but the photo is not stunning or impressive. Ordinary quality of lighting, composition. Is this the best picture one can make of the subject??? --P199 18:36, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Weird colours. Mark^{your words} 13:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- What colors are "weird"? Personally, upon very close inspection, I don't see colors that are out of the ordinary in this photograph of the Garden of the Gods at all. — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 06:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - This picture would be much better if there was a greater contrast between the rock spires and the background. And it needs more focus on the spires, too much bland greenery around. --192.75.88.231 16:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
