King's College Chapel West


University of Cambridge, Cambridge, punting and River Cam link to this image. I think it is a nicely balanced picture uploaded by Solipsist, which illustrates a pretty famous, if not important English landmark. It appears to be large enough, with no obvious (to this non-expert) technical faults. I have tried to address the peer review comments as well as I was able.


 * Nominate and support. - Terri G 10:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose, boat and occupants barely discernable in thumbnail view. — freak([ talk]) 12:50, Sep. 12, 2006 (UTC)
 * but we are not judging the thumbnail! - Adrian Pingstone 16:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the chapel doesn't look particularly sharp to my eyes, and I'd have liked to see the boat coming towards the camera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CountdownCrispy (talk • contribs) Nauticashades 19:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Though a nice photo, it is not a FP. Another photo of this scene can be taken with relative ease perhaps with more punts. A different angle (further to the left) would also cut out the tree on the right which is distracting in this photo. Witt y lama 02:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose for User:CountdownCrispy's reasons and the large amount of JPEG compression artifacts surrouding the spires. Also, the shadowy tree on the right is very distracting to my eye. --S0uj1r0 04:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply I see what you mean about the artifacts, but unfortunately I didn't take the picture, so I can't do anything about it. I suppose Solipsist might have access to an original, although he/she didn't take the picture. I chose the picture because I liked it, but I'm fine with the idea that other people don't agree, afterall I didn't take it. Terri G 10:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Jpg artifacts, and too small. I know it meets(barely) the minimum size requirements but most of the image is low detail blue sky. HighInBC 14:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
