Wikipedia:Picture peer review/McCain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] McCain

Seems like a very good picture, with a significant "wow" factor. It has a high technical standard, high resolution, and is among Wikipedia's best work. It has appeared at the main Wikipedia page (see here). It has a free license, and adds value to the John McCain article. It's accurate, neutral, and has a good caption. And it does not have any inappropriate digital manipulation.

• It certainly looks wonderful in the infobox and contributes to the article. However, the resolution is way below the featured picture standard, the image isn't in focus on his entire face, and I actually think the color balance is off a bit. - Enuja (talk) 17:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. I uploaded it from Flickr and cropped it, which may have hurt the resolution. Is it possible to re-upload and re-crop in a higher resolution (perhaps also fixing the color balance)? Unfortunately, I don't have the best software on my computer.Incidentally, there's currently a discussion at talk:John McCain about whether to use this photo in that article.Ferrylodge (talk) 17:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I hadn't seen that page. It certainly looks like there are many free-use higher resolution images that contribute just as much to the article as this one does. In order to a be a featured picture, this image would have to be of much, much higher resolution; cropping is immaterial as his face is not of high enough resolution. - Enuja (talk) 20:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
