Folsom Lake in Panorama[edit]

Original - Folsom Lake as seen at "low-tide".
Reason
A photo showing a desolate landscape... in the middle of a very popular recreational facility. I love the conflict the image brings forth.

Apparently this nomination was never listed. Adding it now. MER-C 05:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose just for the sake of getting a vote down. Shows us the lake, yes, but composition is nothing striking, the left hand side just cuts out (maybe the shore's too far away?), the right side is clipped too tight at the bank, and there's not that much of particular interest in between. The lighting strikes me as a bit harsh - harsher at least than I'd expect of an FP standard image for this type of subject. And FWIW the photo does not appear in Folsom Lake. (And why's it a PNG?). --jjron (talk) 07:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. I was going to take the leap too. I agree with Jjron, the composition is fairly ordinary. I think only an elevated position would really give you a decent view of the lake. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 10:16, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
