Sunset near Lelystad


This is my first attempt at anything like this, and because I don't know a lot about the featured picture process, I would like to see what some more experienced people think about it before submitting this photograph for FP. I've had a quick read-through of WP:FP?, and nothing strikes me as being "wrong" with this picture according to those guidelines. I took it myself, so there is no problem with licensing, etc. If there are any problems let me know what and how they can be addressed; cheers!

 * As a start, I'd reread guideline #2... Thegreenj 02:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Bugger. There's no way I can fix that, is there? -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  08:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, your camera is 7.2 megapixels (3072 x 2304), so unless you had set the resolution at VGA, there should be a larger file somewhere. There are still encyclopedic hurdles that I think this may struggle at. It doesn't really illustrate Lelystad or Ijsselmeer particularly well; there are no identifiable landmarks, so this could be a sunset about anywhere. Thegreenj 22:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I dunno how to check that, and I think it may have on VGA cause I don't think I have anything else. Agree with you on the encyclopedic point, though. I'm willing to withdraw this review; do I take this template off, or just wait it out for a given time period? -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  09:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It'll be archived once the page fills up; you don't have to do anything. Just BTW, if your camera is on VGA, I'd switch to a higher resolution. While 7.2 MP really is larger than most practical use, VGA is too small for anything but computer display. Unless you're really memory-starved, somewhere in the middle may be better. Whatever suits you, of course. Thegreenj 20:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help, Thegreenj. I shall remember your advice when I go search for pictures to upload next time! -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  07:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
