Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Easter Monday

Original - Two boys enjoy treats during the annual Easter egg roll at the White House lawn on Easter Monday, 1911.

Reason: Another holiday restoration: the Easter Monday article had no lead image. One of the highest profile Easter Monday events is the annual Easter egg roll at the White House lawn, which has been a staple of holiday news coverage in the United States for over a century. A good photographic representation of how children enjoy the holiday. What I like is its candor and timelessness: the White House is visible enough, but it takes a moment to notice the adult women in the background and realize how old this is.

~~Oppose~~ Shouldn't the picture show eggs being rolled, like this, this or this? Except for the White House in the background, two boys eating a snack on the White House lawn doesn't have much EV to me. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 19:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If it were used at the Easter egg roll article that would be a higher priority. This is used at the article about the holiday; the holiday event at this location is more a social festivity than a competition. Durova^Charge! 20:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough. However, the event itself is an Easter egg roll, so my vote is a weak oppose. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 01:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
