Looking down from the Eiffel Tower [edit]

Looking down from the Eiffel Tower

I added this image becaus I found it to be very striking, almost otherworldly, is of a very famous site, and would be difficult to duplicate. I took it in Summer 2004 while on a high school trip.

  • While the image is certainly beautiful (though I have to put doubts whether it was voluntary), it does not illustrate the article quite that well. Particularly considering Image:Tour eiffel at sunrise from the trocadero.jpg is already featured. Circeus 04:25, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose, when I look at that all I see is the blurry trees, person and structure in the background and other hard to identify things sticking accross the image. I find it an interesting picture once I know what it is, but not particularly striking. Also I don't think it demonstrates the subject very well. say1988 02:56, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm afraid I'll have to Oppose. It does look a little blurry to me, and while it is an interesting idea I don't think it will add to the article all that much. Raven4x4x 04:00, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Can't make out what it is.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 06:42, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well I guess I understand. I believe the blurriness is actually fog--it was a very overcast day, and it is a rather high altitude. Perhaps I should have better explained what you're looking at. This is one of the legs of the Eiffel Tower, looking down at a platform that is part of a long flight of stairs you can climb. Theshibboleth 22:45, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Too blurry. Echidnae 04:06, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The blurriness/fog makes me think my eyes are watering, and it's hard to make out what's what. Also, sorry, but it's no real match to the Eiffel picture above. Enochlau 06:10, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. It a strikingly beautiful image, and you should be very proud of it (I really like the mistiness :). But, you are up against tremendous competition to be the best, simply because it's a very popular subject. This can also be a really tough room. Maybe you would have more luck nominating it as a FP on the Commons? (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 12:44, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. This is a beautiful, evocative image. Very nicely done.—Encephalon | ζ  04:59:47, 2005-08-22 (UTC)
  • Oppose - can't make out anything. Trees are at an odd angle, stairs look strange. Makes one dizzy. =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:47, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose - sorry but "arty" photos don't fare well on Featured Pics. Or maybe you shook the camera as you took it. Either way, it has no hope of being Featured - Adrian Pingstone 13:29, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I was in France all summer so I can appreciate how hard it is to get a good artistic shot if the tower. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 14:20, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
