Oppose EV. Not sure what is special. Also the image was dropped into New Hampshire today without an edit summary and in such a fashion as to mess up the text wrapping.TCO (talk) 13:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It might not be mentioned in the article but New England is known for brilliant fall foliage. We do have language in the FP criteria designed to discourage people from the nominating a picture they just uploaded, it's just a guideline though.--RDBury (talk) 16:08, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

True there is no minimum timeframe for a picture to be in an article before nomination, but generally if it's dropped in immediately before the nomination and in a sloppy useless way, with very little EV contribution, or even worse when people replace infobox images of a picture FAR better with their own picture it won't last long and doesn't give a good impression. This picture has zero EV for the article New hampshire and there is far to many pictures in Autumn so it again has virtually zero EV there as well. So I'm gong to put a Strong Oppose up for EV grounds and make a recommendation it be removed from New hampshire and that the pictures in Autumn be greatly GREATLY reduced. — raeky t 21:39, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose In addition to EV issues, background appears overexposed. —Eustress ^talk 20:08, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We do have an article Autumn leaf color where this would be appropriately encyclopedic, but Oppose on grounds of poor resolution and exposure [edit: Chromatic aberration is the term I was trying to think of]. It's an amazing view, I would love to see a better picture of this same scene. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 01:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm only 14 years old and I'm using a digital camera and this place is 12 hours of flight from my city so I can't come back there to take another photo of this place (at least not in the next few years) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Someone35 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's an amazing view, but unfortunately it's something that lots of people take photos of, so it would need to be seriously "wow" for a featured picture. Don't be discouraged, as you say, you're only 14 so you'll have lots more chances to take that 12h flight and retake the picture! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 08:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
