"Self-made photo. Straightened and cropped. Roadside postal boxes on the coast near Buctouche, New Brunswick, uploaded to illustrate the article Canada Post.

I think this is an interesting, surrealistic view of objects that are ubiquitous throughout Canada but which are rarely seen in such unusual settings - at the edge of the shoreline on the far side of busy traffic. I tried to capture this essence by placing moving vehicles in the frame."

  • That is quite an amusing image to look at! However, you say above that this location of a postal box is very unusual, which, to me, is an argument that it isn't an encyclopedic image for Canada Post. Also, the image is currently placed in the history section of that article, and I can't imagine at all what these boxes have to do with the history of the post. I think the article would benefit from a close-up view of typical Canada Post street-side boxes, but this thumbnail image in the article doesn't really communicate to me what the boxes look like; the overall scene is what I see. On the technical side, this image is just barely large enough by the featured picture criteria, and for images just large enough, the technical quality at full size has to be very, very high. Unfortunately, the post boxes are not sharp and in focus. Enuja (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
