:::Yeah, airbrushing out the [[paramotor]] would be a 'breeze', c.f. [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Fire breathing|FPC/Fire breathing]] ;-). However I quite like him (I'm a sucker for aviation), although I would agree that he is a problem with the composition in that he distracts the eye from the real focus of the picture. However, this picture is illustrating a particular moment, rather than a concept, so I would be more concerned about editing history - the guy was there at the time. I've plenty of alternative images, but many have other minor problems or less defined colours etc. -- [[User:Solipsist|Solipsist]] 21:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sunrise at Stonehenge on the summer solstice.

It has been a while since I've felt like trying a self-nom. Hot of the presses, this is what the sunrise looked like at Stonehenge this morning, as some 19,000 people gathered to help a handful of druids welcome the sun on the morning of the summer solstice. The section could use a bit more improvement, but I'm happy with the way this photo turned out. - Solipsist 19:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral That parachuter in the middle really bugs me for some reason. --CVaneg 20:09, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I can remove the parachuter without trace if it would be worth it. Or Solipsist can if he/she has the know-how. --Silversmith Hewwo 21:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, airbrushing out the paramotor would be a 'breeze', c.f. FPC/Fire breathing ;-). However I quite like him (I'm a sucker for aviation), although I would agree that he is a problem with the composition in that he distracts the eye from the real focus of the picture. However, this picture is illustrating a particular moment, rather than a concept, so I would be more concerned about editing history - the guy was there at the time. I've plenty of alternative images, but many have other minor problems or less defined colours etc. -- Solipsist 21:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I would rather him gone, as good as your point is. I just keep looking at him and not at what should be the focus. --Silversmith Hewwo 22:44, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
