As an admirer of the artistry and beauty of the Statue of Liberty, I self-nominate this photo because it shows the scale of the statue in relation to the people interacting with it, is well-centered, and was taken at a high resolution in beautiful sunny weather. Many thanks for viewing.

Nominate and support. - BigMac | (Talk) 19:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry to oppose straight away, but the statue's features are indistinct and it's a bit unsharp all over. It's a good shot and excellent for its article, but an extremely high standard has been set on this page by recent city and scenery FPs. ~ Veledan • Talk 20:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above, plus I would like to see the statue's face have sunlight on it. -Ravedave 21:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The composition is good, but there are enough things not "quite" right that I'd be more comfortable waiting for the "perfect" shot, especially for such an iconic landmark. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - face is in shadow, features are out of focus, unable to read lettering on tablet in liberty's arm. Second version is too red. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 23:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose ack ChrisRuvolo. --Janke | Talk 07:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Lighting just isn't great, and the second version is fake-looking and reddish. Staxringold 03:28, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
