The Olympic rings are seen burning in a pool of water during the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics on 13 August 2004.

I nominate this photo because the flames are so spectacular and the lights really make it appear that it is shining on every member of the audience. It appears in 2004 Summer Olympics. Photo by Lucretious. POKEMON ..MUNCH..OOPS MY BAD

Very nice.—Encephalon | ^ζ 23:36:38, 2005-08-25 (UTC)
Hmm, think you might be able to rotate or skew it a little? Picture seems a bit slanted the way it is right now. --Elfer 04:31, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

True. Right tilt.—Encephalon | ^ζ 05:28:10, 2005-08-26 (UTC)

I can't do anything about that. Thelb4 08:12, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely tilted, I wouldn't support it until that had been corrected - Adrian Pingstone 20:26, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This could be a trademark violation (of the Olympic trademark). Andrew pmk 20:42, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support as long as its not a trademark violation. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:21, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm 99.9% positive that this falls under fair use, since it's for commentary purposes. --Elfer 05:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - In that case I changed the tag from Template:PD to Template:fairuse, I still think we should be careful though since the Olympic Comittee is very litigious. Jtkiefer ^{T | @ | C} ----- 04:51, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
I don't know much about copyrights etc., but if it is correctly stated above that this is fair use, I will have to oppose as this is stated in the 3rd paragrahp of featured picture candidates page that fairuse images are not appropriate. like i said I know nothing of copyright stuff. supportsay1988 14:35, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Support. This is not "fair use". Fair use only applies to copyright. This is just a photograph that happens to include a logo. If the photographer has released the photo into the public domain, then this photo is in the public domain. Nohat 06:59, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support in the spirit of the Olympic Spirit. - Darwinek 08:47, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support ~~This vote will change to a support upon the correction of the image's tilt problem~~ --Elfer 07:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Good catch. It was only 0.5% tilted. Nohat 08:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
