Delist There are also perspective issues, the left pillar is leaning in --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delist I agree. This is no longer one of our best.--Peulle (talk) 08:06, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question - Can we consider a 2005 digital photograph a historic photo? It's certainly from a different period of digital photography. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's more about the subject than the time; a photo from the current century can be historic if it depicts a historic event, as we can see here. In this context, it's a no. There is nothing "historical" about this photo, IMO.--Peulle (talk) 14:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree that it's only the subject. Would you feature an Ansel Adams photo of a subject for which we also have huge stitched digital photographs? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:58, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But the fact of the matter is, an Ansel Adams large format photo *is* high-quality even by the standards of today. Higher, in fact, than the majority of FPs we promote here - basically it will beat out any single-frame 35mm DSLR image, even with a D850. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I take your points. This is mostly a devil's advocate argument. Notice that I haven't voted to keep this photo an FP. But I do think that some of the early digital photos probably should be kept as FPs in some category of early digital photos, as among the best examples of their time, although they fall short for a current nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe ... although that sounds more like a VI argument than one for FP. FPs are "currently one of the finest images on Commons". Good illustrations of a certain period sounds more like a VI.--Peulle (talk) 10:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Too small, and I don't like the foreground with the wooden objects. --A.Savin 17:19, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Result: 7 delist, 0 keep, 0 neutral => delisted. --A.Savin 11:34, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
