Image from the homepage of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The copyright is with the NPS, therefore this picture is in public domain. Great scenery and detail in the picture. The double rainbow mixed with the mountain background of the Oregon mountains makes this picture what it is. The fence in the foreground adds a nice touch of detail to the picture that complements the rainbow and mountains. The image quality is excellent and well deserving of Featured Picture status.

  • The composition is nice, but the sky is a mess of artifacts. Can the original image be used? Denni☯ 01:04, 2005 July 22 (UTC)
    • What is exactly wrong with the sky? This is the image that was on the parks homepage. Only one i can get my hands on. --ZeWrestler Talk 02:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
      • Interesting. When I look at it in the browser, it looks as though it's been converted to web-safe colors. But when I take it in to Photoshop, it looks fine (except for that dark blob in the sky, which is there regardless). Denni☯ 00:00, 2005 July 23 (UTC)
  • Oppose- the pic is sloping as can be seen from all the fence posts - Adrian Pingstone 08:26, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Looks smudged a bit in front of the fence. I also agree with Adrian's comment --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 20:28, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose -- if that second rainbow was up in the sky it might look ok. The fence issue bugs me as well sorry. - Longhair | Talk 12:17, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
