Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Glenridding, Cumbria, England - June 2009.jpg
- Reason
- It's a little low on the wow, but I think it's a complete, well presented panoramic view of the village of Glenridding, nestled amongst the hills in the Lake District, England. It does a good job of showing the location and geography of the village.

- Ok, that topic again ;-), but isn't this image somewhat tilted CCW? I know that geographical features are really tough to judge, but in combination with the cloud band on the to left (which I guess is a result of atmospheric stacking, and in that case should be horizontal) it just looks that way. Well, there is probably not much that can be done... --Dschwen 14:41, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Short answer is I don't know. Longer answer is I'm pretty sure it's basically straight. I know from experience that when I'm shooting hand-held, I generally manage to keep the camera pretty flat (good internal spirit level?). Obviously that's not fool proof though. The cloud band on the left may be horizontal, but due to perspective be tilting one way or the other since it's above the horizon. The houses look roughly upright, but it's hard to tell since they're so small. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support Beautiful, encyclopedic. I studied it a while to see the tilt, but I don't see enough evidence to justify rotating it. Jujutacular T · C 19:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Just one little thing mars the picture - that woman in red, lower right. Clone? (Away, not duplicate... ;) -- Lurker 88.194.175.69 (talk) 21:15, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Does it really mar the photo? It's so insignificant, and besides, the path up the hill is the start of the walk to Helvellyn as per the article: "The village is popular with tourists of all kinds but especially mountain walkers who can scale England's third highest mountain, Helvellyn". I'm not convinced it's justifiable to clone her out. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 21:27, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not that you really need any backup here, but: no, in my opinion it does not "mar" the picture. And I would even go as far as calling the demand for cloning the woman away rather absurd. --Dschwen 22:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- Comment—I see what you're saying about the woman bottom-right. But this is slightly improved, compositionally, by the presence of camping tents (blue). The possible relationship between temporary human habitation and a brisk walk in the landscape works for me. Tony (talk) 01:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

- Support A very stunning image. Miyagawa (talk) 17:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Support -- nice shot. It does seem like the picture is rotated slight CCW, but I'm really bad at judging this sort of thing, so am happy to support unreservedly. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
