Dry Tortugas Light

 * Reason:Excellent, high-resolution view not only of the original light tower, but of the station outbuildings as well, providing a nice idea of the station layout. It also shows the effect weathering has had on the structure.

 * Support Excellent clarity, cannot see any noticeable noise or artifacts...  Intruiging picture too as I assume this was taken from the sea, however there is no bluriness which I would expect from a sea based viewpoint due to the "motion of the ocean" to coin a phrase...

 * Taken at 1/750s, I feel you'd want to be on pretty rough water to get a motion blur. --jjron (talk) 14:32, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's very flat water (as far as these things go), so a boat is going to be very stable. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support -Ooh this is a lovely image good find!. Very distinctive great atmosphere. Very clear.  Dr. Blofeld       White cat 15:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Support. An excellent illustration. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose (Not quite a full oppose, but a little more than a weak oppose). Though good enc., I just don't think the quality is quite there–there's more noise than I'd prefer (mostly in the sky), sharpness overall is a tad lacking, and the beach and white buildings are a bit too bright, IMO. In addition, I'd prefer a slight crop on the left to remove the cut-off palm tree.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 21:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Well, I'm with Spencer on this one. And I think I spot some over-saturation (palm trees, dock), though someone could feel free to refute that if I'm wrong.   Mae din \talk 20:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Relisted for further consideration, and/or editing to deal with the problems pointed out. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 11:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * For the record, I've been to the Dry Tortugas in November, and don't believe this is oversaturated. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 11:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per MER-C. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Relisting this picture was a mild and civilized way of dealing with a gross closing mistake. After this agressive striking action, the question is: shall we continue with the poll or just promote the picture, as it should have been done before? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:57, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Stop the presses per above. Invalid strikethroughs performed without permission or notification of reviewers.  Durova Charge! 20:59, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe this has been corrected: It was rather arbitrarily done by Wadester some time after the relisting. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 22:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Striking objection; thank you for the restorations. Durova Charge! 23:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Technical quality on this was always weak, but evidently not detected by first 5 voters. --jjron (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

The behaviour of "do the original votes count yes-no-yes-no" has ruined any chance of this having a fair run anymore in this page. Hence, per talk page, provisionally promoting per original votes, but listing as a delist nom. --Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 15:51, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
