Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Opening of the first parliament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Picture, the opening of the Parliament of Australia on 9 May 1901, painted by Tom Roberts.
Reason
Aesthetically I find it striking and pleasing; the colours are fantastic. It is a high quality scan/photograph of the painting, 2500 × 1571, showing the opening of the Parliament of Australia in 1901. I'm pretty sure it fulfils all the criteria. Hope you enjoy it.
