I saw this image quite awhile ago, and when I clicked on it, I was surprised that it wasn't a featured picture. I've now decided to nominate it, as I believe it meets all the standards. The image is currently in the Caroline Islands article and was taken by User:Marshman.
- Nominate and support. —Khoikhoi 02:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Support per nominator. One of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. Surely deserves to be a Featured picture.--Hectorian 03:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose This could be shot anywhere - thus, not encyclopedic. Also, the totally black partial silhouette of the boat and the cables at left mar the composition. --Janke | Talk 06:58, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Center composition and it's too small anyway. Besides, there are better sunset pictures at Wikimedia Commons. howcheng {chat} 07:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose, sunsets are triggering a knee-jerk oppose with me, and this one is too small, too arbitrary (could be anywhere, little encyclopedic value). --Dschwen 07:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Nice enough lighting, however it's too small, and it doesn't seem to be in any articles. --Pharaoh Hound 11:58, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - as sunsets go, this one is lacking a lot. The sky is not even red or orange. The clouds are actually fairly unattractive shapes, too. But worst, there is the possibility of an interesting foreground on the left (looks like the prow of a sailing ship?), but it's so dark, and there's so little of it, the effect is totally lost. Instead, we see a tiny motorboat, much less charming :) Also, not very encyclopaedic. Stevage 19:02, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Do sunsets have to confirm to *your* idea of sunsets in order to qualify as an FP? :-P asnatu 17:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
