Vasco da Gama Bridge
'''NOTE: Chancellor Alt, you can't make the image bigger by changing the size of the thumbnail. It's only 350 pixels wide, and can't be bigger than that unless the original photographer supplies a bigger version. I made the thumbnail 250 pixels again to match the formatting of the rest of the FPC page. When people oppose the image due to size, they're not basing their opposition on the size of the thumbnail.'''

A beautiful shot taken of the Portuguese bridge at sunset. Good quality, encyclopedic, pleasing to the eye. I can hardly see a reason that this should not be featured.

 * Oppose I assume the uploader had no idea that such a tiny pic would be an automatic failure - Adrian Pingstone 18:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * How about the larger one I just made? Chancellor Alt 18:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The minimum size requirements for FPs is 1000 pixels. Your's is far less than that size. -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  19:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Strongly Oppose - Some people really don't read the FPC criteria, do they? Chancellor Alt (or PoliticalMind as we knew him before he changed his name) has already had a failed nomination or two on FPC. I would assume that most people would learn what image size meant before they posted an image up here. Far, far, far too small! The FP criteria state that the image must be at least 1000 pixels in its largest dimension. It tells you on the image page that the picture is only 350×250, so how is this eligible? I really do support the modification of the Featured Picture Candidates page to have six-foot-tall red lettering at the top: 'READ THE FPC CRITERIA BEFORE EVEN READING THE PAGE, LET ALONE NOMINATING AN IMAGE.' —Vanderdecken&there4; ∫ξφ 10:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose Amaizing pic, to bad its too small.Nnfolz 23:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Besides being too small, it's probably a copyvio. It appears to be taken from here: http://www.time.com/time/europe/specials/ff/trip3/, where it says "PHOTOGRAPH FOR TIME BY CHRISTOPHER PILLITZ" --Davepape 14:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. It's copyrighted by Christopher Pillitz and TIME Magazine. Sheesh. Good catch, Dave.-- moondigger 14:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
