Oppose. Boring composition, and the lighting makes the hieroglyphics on the monument difficult to see. Also, slanted to the right and visible artifacts in the sky. Redquark 00:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Redquark. While it's a cool photo, the subject matter comprises almost none of the photo. A FP of this subject would be some kind of closer-up stitched together photo so we can get detail from the surface, or at least something closer-in and higher-res.

Oppose. It would benefit from a closer crop. The lighting isn't very good. --Pharaoh Hound 13:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Okay, I get the picture of what you are looking for in a FA picture, and it's not 'art'. Wasn't even sure if I was doing the right thing in nominating my own photo. All the same, if you would like to peruse others with a theme similar, have a look here. Thank you and good day, ladies, gentlemen... THEPROMENADER 17:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose an OK picture but not special enough for FP - Adrian Pingstone 17:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - All of the detail on the obelisk appears to be washed out by the sunlight. --Cyde↔Weys 03:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per Adrian Pingstone. -- P199 21:20, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
