Zelda Wiki:Featured Picture Nomination

= Currently nominated =

Phantom Hourglass scene

 * 1) A. I think it's a pretty cool picture and there hasn't been too many featured PH nominations yet!ZeldaGirl96 20:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) A: I gotta admit, I like this image a lot. 21:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I love option A, its faded borders zooming in on the main characters is simply epic. 17:30, 16 August 2008 (EST)
 * 4) A, I have only played Phantom Hourglass at Best Buy but I think we need a picture from the most recennt game.  I also appreciate that Link's shield has the crayfish/lobster on it like his pajamas in Wind Waker.CoreyPotter 19:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Option B would be a good picture to display. The cover of PH is quite nice, giving a good first impression of what to expect of the game. Angmar 07:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Option A is really awesome. I was gonna accept with Angmar but then again out of five people only one person chose for the other picture (sorry Angmar). That is why I checked Option A and it did look much better. That is why I vote for Option A. Akki 18:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Deku Royal Family
A nicely sized picture of the Dekus, which I think are probably the most interesting race in the Zelda world. It really shows the artistic style of Majora's Mask.Corey Lord of Tacos! 19:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) A very interesting nomination! I have to agree, I would like to see this featured. Thus far, we have no pictures depicting Deku Scrubs primarially, and the only picture that does feature one is Deku Link, hiding in the background for the MM picture. So, first vote! --Felicia&#39;s Champion 23:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Great nomination! I've always liked these characters and this image, and with a some work by MARKOL and myself, it's now of the best quality possible! 11:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I've always loved this image. It's about time it got nominated.
 * 4) Deku Scrubs have always been cool in my book and Majora's Mask really did good for them, giving them a castle and royal family and even letting you play as one, so this gets my vote --Kresh64 19:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Deku Scrubs are cute and one of my favorite enemys.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) I don't really see what is so impressive about this image. It is rather bland and not particularly interesting. It doesn't really stand out among the vast number of images on this site. It is no more interesting than most others. Too simple to be featured. 03:17, September 27, 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) This picture does show anything particuarly interesting. It does not show you you something important. The image leaves something to be desired, and is also simple to the point where the larger portion of the pictures on this web address are more interesting. the flaws are too great for it to be featured.Kingbulbin 11:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Faron
This is the Light Spirit Faron. This a great image. This was made transparent by MARKOL. Excellent work. 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)
 *  Important Notice: 
 * This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Faron Art.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.

To truly see this image in its full glory, click on it to go to its page. It is much better there than this tiny preview here is.

IMPORTANT: We are in the process of updating this image to address certain issues that have been pointed. Please hold off voting until these updates are complete.


 * 1) Contrary to my original, withdrawn vote, after looking at the enlarged version of this picture I find that this picture is a very beautiful picture, much better than the original. The small version shown here may look very average, but it's anything but once clicked on. --Felicia&#39;s Champion 11:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 *  COMMENTS 


 * OK, I can't vote either way on this. While I love the new image, and disliked the background of the old one, my problem is that the new render isn't true to the original. My favourite part of this image (and all the light spirits) was the shafts of light radiating outwards from the sphere. But uinfortunately that element is lost on the new version, and somehow replaced with other lighting effects I can't even see in the original. Some of the magic is lost for me, so for that reason I can't support it. 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I can create an image with the shafts of light back. If you've noticed my custom logos on my userpage, then you'll see that I have some experience in that area. I'll give it a try later today. 06:37, October 16, 2008 (UTC)

Death Sword
'''Though this picture has reached the three opposition votes required for failure, two new policies are being voted on that may change how to fail nominees. Therefore, this will stay until the votes on the policies end. Be sure to cast your votes here and here.''' This is the miniboss Death Sword. This a great image, made transparent by MARKOL. Awesome work. Much easier to see than the old version that is currently featured. 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)
 *  Important Notice: 
 * This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Deathhh.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.

ALSO NOTE: The subject of this image is black. The old background is black. This image has NO BACKGROUND!!!!!!!. It is transparent. The page background is normal blue. So in no way is this harder to see than the old one. It is a physical impossibility. The contrast is greater for the new one. The ease of seeing it is due to contrast. To clarify this, go here.


 * 1) You can't see it as good without the background.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) The background on the old picture was half the reason I liked the old picture. With this one, half the reason I liked it is gone. That's why my vote is here, and not in "support". --Felicia&#39;s Champion 09:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) a trasparent charater on no background is inpossible to see.Dragonstetraforce 20:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) It just isn't the same without the background. Also, it is very hard to see and a featured picture should be easy to see.--Link hero of light 18:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) I have to say, regardless of issues such as clarity or contrast, my problem with the new image is the lack of background. Yes, it was fairly plain, but it wasn't just black. See the purple bit? That cleverly adds both interest and atmosphere to an otherwise slightly plain image. As a (slightly exaggerated) analogy, imagine a film such as The Matrix, shot almost entirely against green-screen. Should they have released that film with just the actors jumping around in front of a green backdrop, instead of adding the CG environments? 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
