The Mansion (also known as the Mansion House) is the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. The mansion is located in the summer capital of the country, Baguio, situated around 5,000 feet (1,500 m) asl in the Cordillera Central Range of northern Luzon. The Mansion was built in 1908 to serve as the official summer residence of U.S. Governor-Generals at the instance of Governor-General William Cameron Forbes.
Reason
I believe it meets the criteria for FP. It had high resolution and has a free license. It also did not undergo any digital manipulation like Photoshop.

  • Oppose Not much EV and most of its focus or the foreground of the image was the brown thing on the bottom. --Mediran talk 09:05, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. As Mediran said, the focus seems to be on the dead grass or earth taking up most of the picture, so the proportions aren't right. A more elevated picture would be more beneficial to more accuratly show the building... gazhiley 09:42, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose due to very bad composition. Maybe a crop? --WingtipvorteX PTT 21:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why crop it? now it became worse. --Mediran talk 03:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The crop wasn't done correctly, but the general idea of removing much of the foreground is helpful. SpencerT♦C 05:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Mediran. What's with the poor cropping job? Dusty777 16:38, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
