•  Info created by User:Moondigger nominated by 70.28.187.93 19:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Neutral It's like a lower-quality version of already-featured Image:Bild 478.jpg. Jon Harald Søby 22:44, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Neutral Actually, I like this composition more than the one of Bild 478, which is also kind of unsharp and noisy. If there would be a version of this with a little higher resolution and less agressive sharpening, I'd opt for featuring this a taking down the other. --che 23:37, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose — too cluttered compared to the featured image which also has better lighting conditions, resolution of 800px by 600px is too small for non historical images Gnangarra 06:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Support -- This is not the same location as the featured image -- Lower Antelope Canyon is a different place than Upper Antelope Canyon, with a different character. Also, this image is 1231x821, not 800x600. -- moondigger 11:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Look, if this isn't promoted that's fine with me - I didn't nominate it. But I do want to be clear about something. There is no existing FP of Lower Antelope Canyon. The existing FP was taken in Upper Antelope Canyon. They are two different places, kilometers apart. As far as I can tell, there are no other images from Lower Antelope Canyon here other than mine. -- moondigger 16:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think that's very important. It's the same kind of natural place, and not very far at all! I think there's no reason to have various FP of so similar places, if they haven't really different qualities or atmosphere. So...

•  Oppose. El ComandanteHasta ∞ 21:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• What makes you think they're similar? Have you been there? The only similarity is that they're both slot canyons, and are both called "Antelope." Is there a rule stating Commons can only have one featured image of a slot canyon? -- moondigger 00:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• No. I haven't been there; but I don't need to just for comparing two pictures. No, there's no rule about similar featured pictures, but must we accept a hundred sunshines or a hundred ochre slot canyons as FP? OK, it's only the second one but as I said it before, I think there are so many things to photograph and show in Commons, that too similar pictures, with a same atmosphere, and with a subject that will be always a good one, aren't exceptional enough to be all featured. I prefer chose only one, and I prefer the other one. It's not a rule, but it's my vision of FP. El ComandanteHasta ∞ 18:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose good but the existing FP even better --Rodge 16:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Support better composition than the existing one --Ggonnell 10:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

•  Neutral -- I like it, better composition than the other one, but the colours/light are not super Michiel1972 22:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
•  Support -- yes, it is dark; and yes, the bis stone in the lower left corner is distracting, but other than that: WOW!! great and unusual composition! -- Boereck 08:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

•  Support Very nice composition. The fact that there's another featured picture with a similar landform from a nearby area diminishes nothing from this one. QuartierLatin1968 20:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
