Photo

I am an amateur photographer I have recently taken a photo of the Stephenson Memorial on a trip to washington D.C., using Sony DSLR-A700 and Minolta 70-210 lens and wish to change the photo of the Stephenson memorial. Yes, previously they said there are branches in the way, but it is on the side, and the blossoms add nice contrast to it. They are not obstructing the view, and it simply looks better that way. The photo can be found here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Grand_Army_of_The_Republic_Monument.jpg Kilo-echo-lima-victor-india-november (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your photo is beautiful and artistic, but practical value trumps artistic value on Wikipedia. The current photo shows the entire memorial and the main image of a memorial, building, etc. should give readers a sense of what the entire structure looks like, not just a portion of it. Thanks.

People can still find your photo via the Commons link here. APK whisper in my ear 05:09, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
