South Beach

Original - A view of South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida with its art deco buildings and restaurants.

Reason: It is a high quality image which gives a good impression of South Beach. There are not many good pictures available to date on Wikipedia of South Beach.
Articles this image appears in: No articles to date use this picture, but this should change. A couple of articles could use this photograph such as South Beach, Ocean Drive and Miami Beach.

Commment A Featured Picture is required to add value to an article--if it's not in an article, it can't do tihs. ("5. Adds value to an article and helps readers to understand an article." Bold in the original.) Please add it with appropriate captions to the appropriate articles before continuing with this FPC. --Blechnic (talk) 04:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No “wow”; nothing special, even technically not perfect, and no encyclopedic value as not in any article. —αἰτίας •discussion• 14:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose. Please hold your horses. First put a picture in an article, then wait if it stays in there. And then maybe nominate it (not this picture though, per αἰτίας). --Dschwen 14:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Commment It is now present in multiple articles. I would like to know what the faulty technical aspects are. Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If you're not actually nominating it, but just putting it up for peer review ("I would like to know what the faulty technical aspects"), the place for that is picture peer review, not FPC. This if for images you think meet all the FP criteria. You can withdraw and go to picture peer review, get the feedback you need, correct the image as necessary, and come back here. --Blechnic (talk) 20:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Tilt, unappealing composition - cars cover the restaurant (which is an important feature according to caption), not very encyclopedic - a view rather similar to this could be shot in many other places. This snapshot-type image is certainly OK for the articles - one of them has lots of other photos, but this one doesn't stand out there, so no "wow" - thus not FP, IMHO. --Janke | Talk 16:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Encyclopedic for the location and architecture, but needs more for FP. Appears to have been taken in early afternoon, possibly for the lovely vintage automobile. Unfortunately this yields flat lighting and places the facades in the shade. There's an FP-quality shot in this scene, probably from a different angle shortly after dawn. Which is the shot? The car? A hotel? Of the four facades in this image two are cut off, two are obscured by palm trees, and all are affected by angle distortion. Decide what this photograph is really about and capture that.
