Original – Photograph of a high school in Arizona

Reason: The angle is slightly off but the image adequately demonstrates the subject. There is very slight grain but virtually unnoticeable. Lighting has not been altered. Resolution and composition are fair. I can retake the picture from a different angle if necessary.

Oppose – Building image lacks visual interest, vertical perspective looks faulty, and target article seems to have been written primarily by nominator. – Sca (talk) 13:12, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the article being written by nominator is a problem, but the image is cut off on the right and has too much foreground. Perspective is fairly fixable, so I'd say it's about 80% of the way to what may be our first high school FP: There's a lot of good in the image. I'd suggest playing with angle to get the full building in, and then you may need to collaborate on a perspective adjustment and crop. It's a great image, just not quite at the top level, but I think you can do it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 13:22, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as such. Agree with Adam above. Architectural photography has many pitfalls - this illustrates a few of them, among others a too low camera position which causes much of the perspective distortion. This could be done a lot better, so why don't give it another try... --Janke | Talk 15:13, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, much blah foreground, too. -- Sca (talk) 12:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
