Oppose Very nice picture however it is too low of a resolution to be a featured picture. Miskatonic (talk) 05:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It is over 1000 pixels high. Samsara (talk • contribs) 08:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - The important part of the image is not, though. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-12-12 14:26Z
    - That's not what the criterion says though - besides, in this case, the rest of the image is needed for context. A >1000px crop of just the statue would not be good. de Bivort 21:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
