Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/USMC War Memorial Sunset Parade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Ceremonial Marchers and Silent Drill Platoon of Marine Barracks Washington, Sunset Parade at the USMC War Memorial, Rosslyn, Virginia, USA.
Reason
It is a photo of the USMC War Memorial taken during the sunset "magic hour" with the Ceremonial Marchers and Silent Drill Platoon of Marine Barracks Washington not only lending solemnity and a link to the modern USMC, but also giving perspective to the immense size of the memorial. It adds significantly to the article because it is the only photo with human figures to lend it perspective. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 20:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
