Oppose Sorry, as so often happens you have not read the Rules for FP. One dimension of the pic should be at least 1000 pixels, your pic is 800 by 600 pixels and looks very pixellated even at that size. Also, the pic itself is not sufficiently striking or informative for FP - Adrian Pingstone 21:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Size, Composition, ENC value all could use improvement. -Fcb981 22:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Definitely not very high quality. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 23:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per all above, plus, there is a watermark in the lower right corner. - Uberlemur 00:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all points mentioned above. Jorcoga ^Hi!_{01:57, Tuesday, January 30 2007}
Comment - I'm concerned about the copyright status of this image. The image is taken from this website where it says that all content is the original work of David Dennis and is freely available for personal use only. I'm dubious as to whether Retiono Virginian is David Dennis, as he claims on his userpage to be from Virginia while Mr. Dennis's website places him in Colorado. Retiono, if you're not the creator of this image you should be aware that claiming false credit and attempting to release someone else's work under license terms to which they have not agreed (e.g. into the public domain) is a very serious issue and could result in you being blocked from Wikipedia. --YFB ¿ 02:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I was thinking a similar thing YFB, but I had trouble reading the watermark and saw it as wadepaperdave.com which of course didn't exist. :-) Looks quite suspicious to me as well. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, it's from a copyrightedweb page, [1]. It says on there, All the photographs in this collection are the original work and copyright property of David Dennis, an amateur photographer living in Colorado. You may download these photographs free of charge for personal use only. You may post these pictures on your personal web site if you include a link to this page on the page on which the picture appears. So, Retiono Virginian is claiming credit for someone elses work, and adding a copyvio to Wikipedia. I think a block and delete is in order. Jorcoga ^(Hi!/Review)05:28, Thursday, February 1 '07
