Original - A rocky beach in Maine on a clear day with a sailboat in the background, near Acadia national park.

Reason: I think it should be a featured picture because it is in high resolution and looks very good.

Oppose. It looks like a lovely place, but I am not convinced that the image has a particularly high encyclopedic value (EV). I do not see how this picture adds a great amout to any of the three articles in which it is used. Furthermore, the horizon is very tilted. J Milburn (talk) 10:55, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

^^^The horizon is the islands of Maine, I didn't edit this picture at all--Someone35 (talk) 11:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't suspect it was edited, I'm saying I don't think the camera was straight. Horizons, even those with islands, do not dip like that. J Milburn (talk) 11:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose EV. For Acadia National Park which would be most important, the image is just down in a gallery of pictures. Also unclear why the composition with a part of the shoreline like that and then the water and sailboat.TCO (talk) 13:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that sailboat was just there, it has nothing to do with me, i didn't make it be there, the order of the image is because it's just like that and i can't make it be otherwise (you want me to take a picture with the order of sky, land,shoreline and then horizon or what???) and there is also a picture that was on the main page (it's called misty mornining or something) and it also has nothing to do with anything that's not a gallery--Someone35 (talk) 17:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's just I don't see how this is serving the article (much). It's not like it is a part of a two para section on sailing or the like. Or that it is really showing us some feature described within the article. Don't feel bad. I voted for your panorama picture. The reason I like that, is it really does show me something and help me understand the article topic better.TCO (talk) 17:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

so you mean that if the article talked for example about how people like sailing in sailboats in acadia park then this picture could have been better as a featured picture? --Someone35 (talk) 18:03, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The more a picture illustrates the story, the better.TCO (talk) 18:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose tilted horizon. Also, I don't think this should be in the article beach, because the rocks are not "loose particles" per the definition of a beach in that article. --99of9 (talk) 05:01, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
