Great Gallery
thumb|Great Gallery, [[Horseshoe Canyon|Canyonlands NP]]

I'm endeavouring to get more pictures from Utah featured, but wanted some constructive criticism before proceeding.

I took this picture, it appears in Pictogram, Fremont culture and Horseshoe Canyon. I think it's a pretty good detail of the gallery and a good example of a Fremont pictogram.

Comments:
 * Nominate and support. - &mdash; Zaui (talk) 18:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Great encyclopedic contribution, but then you knew that :-) Before nominating for FPC I'd (maybe) try to increase the contrast/reduce apparent exposure a bit (if that can be done without making it less faithful - I'm looking at the top left) and I'd add some of the info from Horseshoe Canyon to the image page and caption. You definitely need to do the second one &mdash; images get opposed frequently for not having information to back them up. ~ Veledan • Talk 19:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * See the edited picture. I decreased the brightness a little (too much made it look odd) and added more info in the caption. &mdash; Zaui (talk) 22:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto on the caption. Add some more information on the image page to summarize what's pictured.  Otherwise, the edited shot looks good. bcasterline t 22:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Seconder:
 * I re-wrote the caption. Anything else I should mention? &mdash; Zaui (talk) 17:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Your edit is good, and I will certainly support this nomination for FP, but then I'm a history freak. I can't stress enough though, the more info added to the image page the better (add the info from the new caption to the image page itself). Do we know what this picture signified or why it was painted?  How do modern descendents of the people (if there are any known) explain or feel about the art?  The reason for the searching questions is that I know from experience this image won't seem visually striking to everyone: that isn't strictly a criterion but FPCs do sometimes get opposed because they need words to explain why they are interesting. If the words are lacking they have no chance. On the other hand, most FPC voters will read the caption and image page, and if that makes an unusual subject more interesting it has a much better chance ~ Veledan • Talk 23:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I made an edit attempt as well. I would support this image for FP nomination. -- moondigger 02:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Veledan, thanks for the comments. I'll work up the photo information further - and besides the image page, I could probably add it to the Fremont culture page.&mdash; Zaui (talk) 05:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I think this is a good, crisp photo of an interesting subject, and I would support it when it is nominated. Mooveeguy 20:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
