Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Oklahoma Capitol with Flag

Original - The flag of Oklahoma flies on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City.

Reason: High-quality image. Balance is excellent as the building and flag compliment each other along a diagonal plane. The left side, dominated by the light of the building, is offset as the flag reflects light above the shadowed side of the building, which retreats from prominence gradually. The flag, nearly perfectly flying in the breeze, clearly shows the name “Oklahoma” exactly opposite to the building’s “State of Oklahoma”.

Oppose Image is noisy, the flag is cut off and obstructs the view of the building (which is also cut off). CillaИ ♦ XC 23:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppose noisy and unencyclopedic composition. Clegs (talk) 04:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppose - way too noisy, JPG compression artifacts. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 10:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppose per above. Cut off, tilted, non-encyclopedic composition. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Comment Unless there is support within a day I will go ahead and retract this nomination. Okiefromokla ^questions? 19:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately it most likely won't gather any support because of its very narrow illustrative value; the visual context is just too narrow. It would do much better over at Commons, where encyclopedic value isn't a criterion and artistic merit can come forward. If you have any more up your sleeve, it's always a good idea to pre-nominate prospective wikipedia FPs at Picture Peer Review, gives you a chance to iron out annoying technicalities like these first. --mikaul^talk 00:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
