Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Sun Halo

A photo of a halo around the sun. Taken in 1980.

Edited to remove frame and dust.

Reason: It's a nice photo, but I feel this picture doesn't meet the standards of today's featured pictures. It was promoted to FP in 2004, but probably would not make FP if nominated today.

comment - It's not terrible technically. It was shot at the South Pole, which earns it points for rarity of the shot, but the phenomenon it illustrates, light halos, seems to be fairly ubiquitous. I wish it illustrated something having to do with the south pole. Debivort 08:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment I removed some of the dust and the black bar on the right. ~ trialsanderrors 23:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Where are all the comments? This is supposed to close tomorrow, and we're not going to be able to make a decision unless we have some more input. Raven4x4x 04:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, the decision would be to keep, right? The current state is preserved unless a consensus is reached to change it, just as a FPC isn't promoted unless it gets at least 4 votes. Debivort 19:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Replace with edited version. I agree with Debivort in that it's too bad it doesn't illustrate something South Pole-related, but it does show a halo pretty well and artistically, the angle works well for this shot. howcheng {chat} 06:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Replace Btw, the sign on the bottom left says "Welcome to the South Pole", so there. ~ trialsanderrors 07:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
