Fenrisulfr bites off the hand of Týr

Public domain; illustrated by John Bauer; appears in Fenrir.

I just love this. Old, brilliant depiction the most awe-inspiring lupine of all time. Anyhing that can kill Odin gets my vote ;)

Note: Your first thought might be that it seems too empty, but just look at it for a while. It creates a wonderful sense of space.

Oppose. Too small, poor quality (not its fault), unencyclopedic, unclear subject, poor composition (not its fault), not a photo but a photo of a drawing. Sorry. Witt y lama 12:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really get what the big deal is about size around here. What's the point of having images that are too large to fit on the screen? Anyways, this will probably get killed by quality buffs, but I still love it for its artistic merit. And how can you seriously say it's unencyclopedic? Anything else I can kinda understand but it is certainly ecyclopedic.--SeizureDog 19:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THough I oppose, I would sugggest that if want a picture featured based on its artistic merit or anything like that you should look to the commonssay1988 04:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Everything Witty says (but note that a photo of a drawing could well be an FP, there's no prohibition on that account) - Adrian Pingstone 15:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This just isn't FP quality. --Mad Max 20:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
