Four Square Walk Through at night. I really like this photo and it adds to the articles Churchill College and Barbara Hepworth - [[User:Dmn|Dmn / Դմն ]] 00:09, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose until its decompressed. The image size is big (a little too big IMHO) but its very compressed. I thought for a while it was a progrssive interlace jpeg but it isn't is it? An interesting sculpture though--Fir0002 05:08, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Oppose. I don't think that's JPEG compression. It looks like some sort of smoothing algorithm applied becuase the original was probably very grainy. ed g2s • talk 15:06, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Unclear, self conciously arty without the redemption of interesting composition. Light flare in bottom left is distracting. The Hepworth itself might as well be a bit of technical Lego. I dislike it intensely. GWO 07:03, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I welcome the addition to the Hepworth article (which I've been meaning to expand for a while), but this doesn't show the statue that clearly. It's good for Churchill College though, which isn't easy to make interesting. -- Solipsist 07:55, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Support - I like it, it's better than some other 'featured images' David 5000 10:04, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • oppose, great concept, backlit rays and all, but just dont think that this pic nailed it. Cavebear42 17:07, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral. Good idea, good pic, but this smacks of Photoshopping. Is that a criteria? Note the texture of the grass in the foreground. Matthewcieplak 01:59, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • I used PaintShopPro to lighten it slightly but nothing as extravagant as adding grass (I'd rather the grass wasn't there, but I don't have a tripod - to do a long exposure picture I have to rest the camera on the pavement) [[User:Dmn|Dmn / Դմն ]] 21:55, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • I was commenting on the texture of the image - how the edges make it look more like a painting than a photograph. Maybe it was just the exposure, but the effect is still there. Hence the neutrality. Matthewcieplak 22:31, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
