Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Bruce Springsteen in Germany

Original - Springsteen performing on the Tunnel of Love Express at the Radrennbahn Weißensee in East Berlin on July 19, 1988.

Reason: Mostly, it's quite striking, but there is an interesting historical aside. This photo was from a concert in East Berlin that fell right between Reagan's "tear down this wall" and the destruction of the wall. The resolution may not be the best, but there's an amazing amount of clarity in what pixels it does have. No regions are too black, no too white, and the depth of field is great.

Oppose Sorry, but it's simply too small, especially once you crop out the text to the bottom right. There are scratches/dust/whatever and the head of the guitar is cut off.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 12:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose fails the size criteria. Zoo Fari 19:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose To me, the words on the right side ruin it. Madadude^{My Talk Page} 20:51, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, sadly. Size is too small, and the image is of poor quality, especially the specks. Also, the text at the right detracts from quality as well. tempodivalse [☎] 17:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
