The Angel of the North is a modern sculpture by Anthony Gormley which is situated in Gateshead, UK.

This picture has great contrast and the subject is well defined under the blue sky; created by myself.

Oppose. The suject is cut off. And I don't like the angle. It's much more of an "artsy" image than an encyclopedic image--Pharaoh Hound 13:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As an art image, it's striking, with two main colors (the sculpture and sky) playing off one another. However, I'm not sure how well this works if the image is intended to be used to document the sculpture in an article. In that case, it probably shouldn't be framed in such a way that it cuts it off on the left, right and bottom. More generally, it appears you have some contrast loss in the lower left due to lens flare. -- moondigger 13:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Subject is cut off too much. --Mad Max 20:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice colours and a skilled shot but more appropriate for Commons than here. Encyclopedias will always want the subject in full. ~ Veledan • Talk 21:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Zzzzzzzzz. --P199 23:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose good picture but really doesn't stand out to be featued.--Andeh 01:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a good example of a pic where much more needs to be shown so that the viewer can tell the massive size of the statue - Adrian Pingstone 09:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Artsy, but unencyclopedic. Send it to Commons for their FPC. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As above, not encyclopedic enough. Nice picture though. Alexj2002 22:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
