  • Comment: This is an excellent photo, very well composed, and decidedly eye-catching. However, I'm not sure if it adds any actual encyclopedic value: It doesn't show the whole instrument, it doesn't show the bow from an angle that'd demonstrate technique, and the things that make it artistic maybe make it more useful in every website but this one.

  • I think this close-up photo adds EV to the article since the other photos in the article lack this level of detail, and the Featured Picture Criteria include the statement that the photo "illustrates the subject in a compelling way, making the viewer want to know more". I agree that a photo that showed the whole instrument would have stronger EV. In this case I think the photo does an excellent job at "making the viewer want to know more" which is also among the FP criteria. --Pine 05:04, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
