Oppose this is the English encyclopedia. If you want to feature an image that's used in an article on the New Norwegian Wikipedia but not on English Wikipedia then you should nominate it at the New Norwegian Wikipedia or add it to an article on English Wikipedia and wait at least seven days before nominating an image here, per our Featured Picture Criteria.

I have added the picture to a uk page on the English encyclopedia and will re nominate after 7 days as I believe this is a really good picture that deserves to be seen and nominated and be given a fair chance at FPN--Danesman (talk) 16:39, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To be frank, I don't think that it has much chance of passing: the photo isn't of anything in particular (is it of the London Eye or the buildings to the right of it?), and the technical quality of the shot isn't great. The odd water conditions on the river don't help either. Nick-D (talk) 08:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Nick-D. But try submitting it for quality images, might be good enough for that. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all of your comments and will take on board, thankyou. Although some of the comments made I feel are unjustified. Dustys comment of not used in any articles, there are two uk pages this picture is featured on EDF Energy and London Eye. The comments made by Nick-D again I feel are not helpful, the picture is of the London Eye attraction and is blatently obvious and as per the pictures title. You cannot help having the buildings in the picture! as for the water again you cannot help the way the tide is and how it moves and swirls. I think this is a really good picture which deserves better comments and is just as good as some of the pictures on wikipedia. I think some of the comments made could be a bit more constructive and could be more helpful!--Danesman (talk) 20:56, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My comment was in relation to the London Eye not being the main element of the photo. This is a general view of this part of the Thames, and not a picture of the London Eye (I managed to take a photo from pretty much the same location using a low-quality camera in 2006 which only included the London Eye).

- This image is not in the London Eye article, so I have struck this above... gazhiley 08:50, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The picture was not in the articles listed above when I made my above comment, so I guess Wikipedia was a little slow in updating that info. Dusty777 02:33, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
