Portal talk:Maryland/Selected picture

I have a question, do the selected pictures have to be new ones or can they be old ones that have already been uploaded on Wikipedia? If the latter, I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Madison_house_brookeville.jpg is a good picture. 138.88.128.241 19:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it can be any pic, just like how "did you know?" can be any interesting fact. Another proposal I would like to put forward is these colorful rowhouses.-Jeff ^(talk) 19:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know this isn't supposed to be a "featured picture", per se, but I'm not a big fan of the first picture because of the power lines in the foreground. I like the second picture, however. I'll also try to find some that I have uploaded over the years that could be selected pictures. --tomf688 (talk - email) 21:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

how about this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Memorial-stadium.jpg Pepperjack 14:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, as soon as we decide a selected article we should start putting them up. Starting with the rowhouses, then the stadium, I'll go ahead and post a list of the ones we've picked so far.-Jeff ^(talk) 02:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've got a couple of suggestions

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ellsworth-ssmd.png This is a picture of downtown Silver Spring. It's an example of the high density development in Montgomery County

OK, it's been a while since I've worked on this. Anyway, I like those pictures. All the powerlines in the Ellicott City one though kind of cover things up a little, maybe if it was shot from another angle it'd be better, but still usable (same goes with the Madison House one). The Bay Bridge picture is nice, but as far as depicting the Bay Bridge goes, I'd prefer a picture showing more of the length of the bridge, that works as a nice picture of the bay itself though.-Jeff ^(talk) 18:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
