Image:Michaux_State_Forest.JPG
- Reason
- Image looks good on my computer, I don't see any artifacts. I believe the image shows the lake clearly, it also shows the waves in the water. The image also shows the area surrounding the lake.
- Proposed caption
- the extended caption of the image, providing adequate context, with prose suitable for display on the Main Page

- Oppose While I am a big fan of the composition artistically, I'm afraid it doesn't give me very much information about the state forest whose article page it is on. What is the name of this lake? Also, even if this lake is notable enough to be described in the state forest article, I'm afraid the image isn't very distinctive. Beautiful, but not very specific. Most of the image is taken up with beautiful, but nondescript, water and sky. Technically, the blurry distance (sky, trees and far lake shore) and the color distortion at the edge between the sky and forest are both problems. Enuja (talk) 02:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - Uninteresting snapshot of a very typical looking lake. Cacophony 08:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - Lacking enc., and technically uninspiring. --Sean 15:15, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. The rule of thirds would have helped too. -- Chris.B 15:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose for poor technical quality. Puddyglum 16:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose on technical grounds. I do love the zen self-referential caption, though. Spikebrennan 21:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Yeah, I'd like to see this in person, as I crawl out of my tent in the morning. But as an FP, it's just not sufficiently spectacular. Unschool 05:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Just boring. Mikeo 22:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
