Lillee Marsh Stand

Nominated 03:48, 17 December 2005

The Lillee Marsh Stand at the WACA during Australia vs South Africa

A panorama of the Lillee Marsh stand where I had no idea. I took this today trying to show that the stands are supposed to be dark so people don't get hot and sun burnt. Hamedog 15:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

Stunning photo showing the high of the light tower, the cricket in action, Perth's weather and the attendance at the ground. Currently appears in the WACA article and taken by hamedog

I've made some edits to the photo. Ran it through auto contrast/level/colour in Photoshop and rotated it 0.5 degrees clockwise. Enochlau 13:10, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The sky looks great, but it dominates the image and places much of the stand in shadow. Warofdreams talk 18:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The stands are too dark, and the rest of the picture isn't all that striking. Camerafiend 19:21, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The stands are supposed to be dark - the members don't want to sit in the sun from as early as 8 am to 6pm. The only reason the sky is there is because I wanted to get the light in. I have another version with only the stand which I will link. Hamedog 22:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, the picture doesn't illustrate why this stand is different to the countless others around the world. It looks very unremarkable a thumbnail size. Thryduulf 11:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - sorry, nothing exceptional. Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
