Original - An image of the historic Forth Bridge in Scotland from the shore of South Queensferry
Reason
Just a superb picture. It is of high standard and resolution and looks absolutely incredible. The subject (the bridge) is of great historical significance

  • Great picture; not very high resolution by current standards (particularly since the subject takes up a rather small percentage of the frame). It appears that an FP regular asked George quite a while ago if he was willing to upload a higher-resolution version and he responded by suggesting a different one.

  • Oppose low resolution and low EV - the image is concentrated on the shoreline, not the bridge, and the sky and water conditions seem highly unusual. Nick-D (talk) 03:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Nice picture, but per the creator not particularly encyclopaedic. It feels like a tobacco grad ND has been used. JJ Harrison (talk) 08:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - although visually interesting, it's not very high resolution and the subject (the bridge) itself isn't the main focus of the picture - for an encyclopedia, we should be able to find out from the picture that the bridge is actually red! Also, the yellow sky looks a little oversaturated in post-production. Bob talk 10:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as above. An impressive looking picture, but not FP material. J Milburn (talk) 15:29, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
