  • Oppose It’s a nice angle. And I don’t see anything wrong technically (because I am not nearly as adverse to blown-out bright stuff as most around here). I find it to be exceedingly good at illustrating the subject of “Ping Tom Memorial Park”; which is to say, it has great EV. But, the overcast day makes the lighting here look third-rate as far as landscape photography goes. Lighting is essential in all photography and the lighting here is clearly not great, or even good. IMO, Featured Pictures on the Main Page should elicit a desire by the reader to first click on the picture to see a bigger one (stop, stare & click), and perhaps then click on the related article. I’m not seeing that here; the thumbnail’s sufficient. Greg L (talk) 03:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support I find the colours fine and not put off by the sky myself - it's only a small part at the top centre stretching to top right and the rest of the picture is interesting enough to make that forgivable... Only a weak support however as would be better on a brighter day... And Greg, I stopped stared and clicked on the race article so so it's fine... Oh and btw - please change your record - every picture you say this phrase!!! A bit of variety please?! Gazhiley (talk) 08:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
