Manly Beach

Manly Beach (Higher Resolution)

Self-nom. A classic photo of an Aussie beach, it captures together iconic elements such as the surfboard, the flag and the sea spray, as well as the heat, the glare and the peace from going to the beach. It illustrates Manly, New South Wales and Northern Beaches (Sydney). Enochlau 02:19, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The glare on the left seems a little much. It kind of obscures the beach in the background. The rest is great though! -- Rmrfstar 16:40, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- It's at a size that's comparable to many of the other images here, but regardless, here's a higher res version. Any other comments Deglr6328? Enochlau 13:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - yeah, don't get uppity. Images are posted here so they can be criticized.--Deglr6328 17:37, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

( − ) Oppose Dislike the sign --Fir0002 06:07, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose - the sign is in just the wrong place it seems to me. Maybe it would be improved by some careful cropping? L upin 02:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not brilliant to me. Circeus 12:31, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Support The sign and the glare capture the atmophere of Manly! Kewpid 14:25, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Larger version that is. Reason, it brings back good memories. Ahkayah cuarenta y siete 22:32, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
( − ) Oppose for reasons stated by myself and others. -- Rmrfstar 00:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I guess the beach is known for surfing, but the picture gives mixed signals. There are some heads in the water, but otherwise the place looks a bit empty and the sign largely seems to discourage surfing. -- Solipsist 07:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
