[edit] Featured picture promotion!
[edit] Silvereye
This comment relates to the image you removed from the Silvereye article. It's poor etiquette to simply replace an image unless yours is unequivocally superior. It's good etiquette to create a gallery. Brett.donald 05:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Composite photos
I couldn't help but notice the large discussions over the two composite photos you nominated as featured picture candiates. I won't start the same discussion here as I'm sure I'll only be repeating what others have said, but I do have one piece of advice for you. If you are going to upload composite photos, you really should put a note on the image page explaining what you have done. The way you have edited the photos it is not immediately apparent that the photo is a composite, so viewers are going to assume it is reality unless told otherwise. Placing a note on the image page will avoid creating that assumption.
Secondly, as you can see by the comments on the FPC pages, the fact that you didn't mention the image editing at all does tend to create the impression that you are deliberately hiding it. I'm sure this isn't the case, but being totally up front about any image manipulation you do is always the best thing to do. Raven4x4x 08:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
