Original – A view of southern Catawissa, Pennsylvania from the southeast.
Reason
Was recently approved for QI status on Commons, has a resolution of over 3 megapixels. As far as I know, it's the best image that shows a significant portion of the borough of Catawissa. The license is CC-BY-SA 4.0. It has EV by depicting what a large portion of Catawissa looks like. Admittedly, it doesn't show the whole borough, but I think it shows enough to give people the general idea and it has the added bonus of depicting some of the local geography. The fact that this is a picture of Catawissa can be verified by checking the coordinates. An accurate file description is available. No digital manipulation was done except for minor things like sharpness and saturation. In short, I think it checks all the boxes for FP.

Comment Yes, the large shadow it is the main drawback. The foreground should be interesting or just clear. Hafspajen (talk) 15:16, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jakec: And how about an aerial view? --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jakec: I see that you took the photo, and I guess you'd like a photo to go with the article. I'm not an expert in judging images; the others are, and they said the shadow in the foreground is a problem. If you want a fall scene, maybe next fall you could go back to this same spot and take a photo at a time of day when there would be no shadow, and then re-submit your nomination. Maybe then it would pass. Maybe also you could look around for another vantage point. Just a suggestion. CorinneSD (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pity, because the scenery is very nice, - and we can't crop out that shadow, because the file will be not big enough after the crop. It's only 2,256 × 1,504 pixels, how unfortunate. Hafspajen (talk) 12:24, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
