Looks pretty straight to me.

I took this image and added it to the Washington Monument (Baltimore) article. It is my first time submitting an image as a Featured Picture so give it to me easy. I think it does a good job of illustrating the subject and really makes the article more vibrant than it was without a picture. It was originally pretty dark so I lightened it a bit. If that's an issue and it would look better a little darker, I can manage that. I didnt use a tripod or anything when I took it...so i'm pleasantly surprised its aligned so well.

  • How about this? PiccoloNamek 02:20, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
    • That actually looks similar to my original photo...I just wasnt sure if it was too dark in certain spots.--ScottyBoy900Q 06:40, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I prefer the original. The second version is a bit too dark for me. However, the image needs to be rotated just a bit, I notice the tower isn't perfectly straight. Raven4x4x 09:38, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
        • According to the grid and rulers in Photoshop, the horizon is straight. If you fix the tower the rest of the picture will be tilted. And about the brightness, well, therin lies the problem of people with different monitor settings. It doesn't look dark at all to me. Anyway, I fixed it a little. How's this one?

      • I think either my monitor, my chair and/or myself must be tilted, because it still doesn't look straight to me. I'll take your word for it, I'm sure it's just me. It is a very nice picture. Raven4x4x 12:37, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, it's definately my monitor or the desk: I can't believe I didn't notice this before. Great image, and sorry for saying your image was tilted when it's really my fault. Raven4x4x 02:33, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

  • Support, it particularly demonstrates the surrounding grounds very well and shows the area in modern times. --Noitall 05:32, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. These types of monuments are intensely boring however good the photograph. If I was going to be rude I'd say something about how a good name for it might be 'Phallus in Blunderland'. But I won't. Oska 22:57, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
