•  Oppose Meh... --Quasipalm I thought this was the current shuttle crew. This is much more important photo than I thought, so now I'll  Support.
•  Oppose somehow boring, although it's a quite sad picture given the point how it was found, but I don't think that alone is enough for a featured picture. btw, why do they all do have at least two watches and some other strange device on their wrist? -- Gorgo 18:35, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Maybe i don't understand what it takes for a picture to be featured? From what i gather it just has to have high resolution and you guys find it 'interesting'? Mlm42 12:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • basically ... yes ;). As there is no real official guideline, I can only say how I decide it. Basically a picture has 3 different parts, technique (resolution, sharpness, ..), a theme ("sunset in africa", "close-up of a dungheap", ...) and the composition of the picture itself (does it really show what the theme intended?, is it nice to look at?, ...). And all 3 parts should be perfect of course. As the last 2 points are mostly subjective, it mostly ends up with "I (don't) like the theme" or "I (don't) like the composition" -- Gorgo 16:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
•  Oppose see Gorgo. They wear those watches because they need to keep track of multiple time zones. MET (Mission Elapsed Time), GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, ISS uses that) and Houston time. Also see here Question 5 -- startaq 22:14, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
