Nuernberg football globe


I found this picture while reading 2006 FIFA World Cup and was suprised it wasn't a featured picture. It a picture of The Football Globe on the Hauptmarkt in Germany; it was created by Magnus Gertkemper on 24 Augest 2005.

 * Comment Cool shot, but I find the flag with the corporate sponsors in reverse to be distracting. SteveHopson 00:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose First of all it's not in an article, which is a requirement for a FA. Second, its not that great of a picture; the moving people are distracting, its blurry, tilted, and not very encyclopedic. Sorry, it's a cool picture, but not a featured picture. Spizzma 04:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. To be fair this was in the article suggested when it was nominated, because I saw it there the other day. It was removed by Batman2005 with the following statement: "removed photo in scorers section as it was messing up the format of the content". --jjron 10:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. That subject could make a good FP, but this particular example isn't up to standards. The thing that's most lacking in this photo is good composition, there's a banner in front of the subject, and the background is very busy. --Pharaoh Hound 12:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * weak oppose I really liked this picture when I saw it too, but the minor details like blurred people are distracting --Astrokey 44 12:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
