I've never nominated an image before and I'm not entirely sure that this would meet the criteria, but I think the image is quite interesting. I took it at an Underoath performance in San Diego, California at Warped Tour in 2006. It was a night show, and the angle, lighting, and how the band members are captured, is different than many stage pictures of bands. It was literally taken at the edge of the stage behind the security.

Comments:

  • While this image does have a high enough resolution to be a featured picture, and the two musicians are clear and in fairly good focus, its composition alone will prevent it from being a featured picture. Much of the image is the dusky sky and the tent, and the hand on the lower right hand side is also not an attractive or interesting part of the image. If you had resolution to play with, this could be cropped out, but you don't. Also, the fact that the guitarist is cut off is not helpful. Looking up at the musicians in the first place is also poor composition (unavoidable in this case, of course), and the flash glare on the guitarists arm and guitar is also distracting. It's a good shot, and it contributes to the article, but it isn't going to be a featured picture. I suggest looking at the current featured pictures of people to get a good idea of the compositional expectations. Enuja (talk) 23:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
