Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Boxing080905 photoshop.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professional boxing bout featuring Ricardo Dominguez (left) versus Rafael Ortiz.
Top of head restored by Shawnc.

This is an image I found in the US Marine Corps image archive. Although it might not fulfill all technical specifications, I personally feel that it brings out the essence of focus and aggression in boxing, and contributes greatly to the article. The background and is very unusual for a boxing image, and atleast for me, it conveys an eerie feeling. I could imagine this one as a featured picture.

  • Oppose second photo. Voting after the fact and after Shawnc pointed me to this discussion. Altered photos are in violation of the WP:NOR policy and should not be used to illustrate articles in the main Wikipedia namespace, let alone be promoted to Featured status. The reason is that they purport to illustrate something that is not true; they show a moment in time that never occurred. That is certainly a beautiful photo and I'd support the first one as Featured. Tempshill 06:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
