Original – The Gilded Eagle atop the American Embassy in London

Reason: High-resolution image, aesthetically appealing, only closeup at all image of the subject on Wikipedia or Commons, due to very high security around the embassy images of this sculpture are very difficult to obtain. N.B. first ever nomination for FP.

Oppose While this image has EV, I imagine that it would be possible to take a much clearer version of this photo during winter (when the trees will have lost their leaves) and with a camera with a long lens. Nick-D (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not at all convinced by the composition, I'm afraid. J Milburn (talk) 22:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I believe that the picture was taken from an odd location: the two trees work as a distraction rather than a composition element (and they look blurry in full size), the position of the statue is not completely attractive (the angle is not oriented to an specific point of the camera, and its position close to the lower border of the image, as well as the left wing end hidden behind a tree, makes it look incomplete). Also, I'd have to say that the flag shouldn't be hidden by the trees, and the sky works against the intended depth of the shot. This is a good picture, but it has too many details to become a featured picture. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
