Observatory by the Pond[edit]

Camp Susque's observatory, used for stargazing, is on the left. On the right is the Susque Pond.
Reason
I think this image, a picture of idyllic Camp Susque is good enough to be featured. It is 2000 x 1500 pixels.

  • Oppose This certainly doesn't illustrate the observatory very well, does it? The rest of the picture is just generic grass, hills and trees, so, a "no go" from me... --Janke | Talk 17:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Dull composition, tilt to the left. --Bridgecross 17:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose it may illustrat the camp better than it illustrates the observatory, but there are technical problems like chromatic aberation in the trees, and motion blur. Debivort 21:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose this isn't an image of the observatory. It is illustrating the camp in general (shows the field, pond, and observatory framed with mountains and trees). It is adequately encyclopedic for the topic. The image also isn't terrible, but it isn't anything that special either. While it does help me understand the camp better, there isn't really enough going on. No wow factor, not the best of wikipedia IMO.-Andrew c 01:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -No "Wow" factor. The observatory is not really featured in the photo -Nelro
