~~Oppose~~ Neutral - Image page lacks any useful information, such as what sort of crop this is, and where it is. Also, who is Victor Szalvay? ~~These images by him don't seem to have enough source information to support the claimed CC licensing.~~ --Davepape 18:07, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is obviously a wheat farm. 66.36.144.252 23:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In answer to my own question, the source appears to be flickr [1]. However, the page there says that this particular photo is "all rights reserved", not CC-BY-SA. --Davepape 20:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to neutral, as my bigger concerns were dealt with; I like the picture, but there are still the technical problems others point out (though they don't bother me quite as much, hence the neutral vote). --Davepape 13:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Davepape. Also, not up to the size and resolution of most FPs. However I love the photo itself, with the sun through the grain and hypnotic rolling landscape. Provide more info and a new version and I'm in. --Bridgecross 19:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Also, the sky is totally blown on the right side. -- Moondigger 19:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - overexposed sky --Ineffable3000 20:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Overblown sky, too small. HighInBC 02:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Wheat fields are common here, and this image has far more eye appeal than any wheat field I've ever seen. Breathtaking! Royalbroil 12:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support I am very suprised this is getting so much opisition. This is the best photo of a field I have ever seen. Tobyk777 05:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Great picture; makes something I would usually consider dull and boring more visually appealing. Mitch119 07:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. Visually appealling, but I wish it were bigger. enochlau (talk) 23:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Visually Stunning picture, not much else to say.Araxen
Support ...and we walked in fields of gold. Sting would be proud ;) TomStar81 (Talk) 01:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking about that when I uploaded the image too. Arad 15:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very nice photo, my only issue is that it could probably be used in more places beyond just the basic agriculture article! Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:43, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose - could use more photo information and larger resolution. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 05:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's true that this photo makes a usually boring subject, interesting. Even the blown sky is nice. Don bertone 12:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose - Lovely photo, inspite of the blown out sky on the right. A high-res version would make it look extremely immersive. Will change vote to Support if a high-res image is uploaded. Also, cropping a little from below might help the composition. doniv 18:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I don't know wikipedia much, i use it frwquently but i don't edit much. I use flickr a lot and then i just saw this image on wikipedia. I liked a lot when i saw it on flickr and when i saw it here, i wanted to support. Is this how i should support?

No, if you want your vote to be counted you'll need to sign it by typing ~~~~ at the end. If you don't already have an account on the English Wikipedia, it's possible your vote will not be counted by the closer anyway, as it might appear that you are a sockpuppet. --YFB ¿ 02:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Not detailed enough to be FP-worthy at this resolution. Might support a higher resolution version, but the blown sky is also an issue and the overall impact isn't spectacular. --YFB ¿ 02:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I find the quality pretty good. And i love to see it on main page too. Babayi 16:49, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As noted during the Arge Bam and other nominations (see Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Possible_socks, this user (along with QAZ and a series of 66.136 (Montreal) IP addresses may be sock- or meat-puppets of Arad. --YFB ¿ 19:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
