Great flood of 1993 in Alexandria, Missouri edit

Great Flood of 9999, with the Mississippi River out of its banks in Alexandria, Missouri.

I came across the Great flood of 1993 article which included only a number of small, lower resolution pictures (except for the satellite image). I found this photograph in FEMA's photo library (photographer: Andrea Booher), and thought it exemplifies the Great Flood of 1993's impact on agriculture. The photograph also looks well composed and aesthetic. --Aude (talk | contribs) 15:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. It's hard to tell that it's flooded in this photo. It just looks like a barn on the side of the river. howch e ng {chat} 16:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a nice composition, if not the sharpest image. However, I don't get how it shows there's a flood. Is that a tideline around the side of the barn? If not, I, too, am just seeing a barn by a river. Stevage 18:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As above, also the image looks like it's tilting to one side. That can't be natural. --Life is like a box of chocolates 22:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - not very special in composition, average at best. -- P199 22:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
