Semar Kris redux
Voting period ends on 14 Sep 2011 at 15:56:58 (UTC)
 * Reason:I think this could be a featured picture because it is of high resolution, shows the subject clearly, shows the sheathe (which many of our other pictures of kris lack, thus giving greater EV), and is interesting (the blade design, unique handle etc.). The original can be seen here. This nomination is a renomination of Featured picture candidates/Semar Kris, as the current suggested image surfaced quite late in the discussion. This renomination is based on closing comments by User:JJ Harrison and User:Makeemlighter, as well as discussion on Makeemlighter's talk page.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Kris, Semar
 * FP category for this image: Featured pictures/Engineering and technology/Weaponry
 * Creator:Original image: Crisco 1492. Derivative work: JJ Harrison and Crisco 1492.

 * Support I'm glad to see this coming back. Pinetalk 07:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on the dimensions, these don't seem to be a matching pair. If I'm wrong, it would be nice for EV to see how they fit together (and please don't just photoshop them). If I'm right and they do not match, this fact should be noted. Samsara (FA • FP) 09:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I will take a few low resolution images (not for consideration for FP) to address your concerns and show that the blade and sheathe are a pair. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:06, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Please feel free to take a look. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:32, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Much improved, good job. I slightly tweaked the colour levels to reduce the blue a small bit which showed on the dark wooden areas. Fallschirmjäger &#9993; 15:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Sure. It really doesn't look like the two could fit together does it? Some kind of optical illusion maybe? Sabine's Sunbird  talk
 * Perhaps because the slot in the wooden handle isn't visible, or the positioning with the head of the handle where the base of the wooden guard is. It never occurred to me before Samsara made a note above. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:08, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
