Could this picture become a featured picture?

 * This gives the horrible feeling of being badly tilted, though looking at the distant horizon and the clouds I don't really think it is. Perhaps you'd need to explain this phenomenon (e.g., is it a result of some geological faulting?). Now, I don't really know what is possible re taking this shot, but it looks that you could have got further to the left and taken a better photo, i.e., the arch that is apparently what this photo is mainly about blends into that rock formation behind it. If you could have got further to the left you could have got the arch with just sky behind it, and that would have made a far more powerful shot of the arch itself. My take on this would be that it's a good photo, but probably not up to featured standards. --jjron (talk) 14:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment No, it is absolutely not tilted. That is just how mother nature designed it. I have now idea if there is a geological term for that phenomenon. I do have a close-up of the arch, where it is freestanding much like the current FP of Delicate Arch, but I uploaded this one, because Wikipedia didn't had a good picture depicting the surroundings and position of the arch.Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)74.211.62.181 (talk) 15:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, won't comment on your images any further. :-) --jjron (talk) 15:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
