St. Luke's School photo[edit]

The area inside the main gate of St. Luke's School in Manhattan, with the main entrance to the right side of the picture. The statue of the Virgin Mary, with a rose, is in the middle.

I took this picture myself, and I think it's a beautiful picture (if I do say so myself), and I hope you agree. It's a beautiful area. However it's only used in the article about the school, which is an extremely short article about an extremely small school, so while it does add to that article, it's not widely visible. But I think it certainly meets and exceeds all the criteria in Wikipedia:What is a featured picture?.

  • The school, which this picture is supposed to be illustrating, is just barely visible in the background. Glaurung 05:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The entire area is part of the school, and the actual building is far more than "barely visible." User:WindowsWizard12 02:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Generally well-composed, but there's too much of the dirt area at the bottom. You've also got blown highlights in the reflection of the sun in the windows. Lastly, although I'm sure it does a good job illustrating the subject, it lacks the "wow" factor that will push it to FP status. howcheng {chat} 16:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hmm...I could always crop out the dirt, but there isn't much i can do about the highlights, and I suppose you're right. Robert 18:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
