Hey, sorry for the delay in response, but I wasn't able to get another picture of it before it was taken down. By the time I got to it, they had a huge crane sitting next to it for a few days, waiting to take it down. :( On the plus side, I got some photos of them actually disassembling it, which I

Technical manipulation is generally discouraged: the image should present the subject as acurately as possible. But it should be rotated counter-clockwise to bring it to horizontal position. That will improve the quality. Croping will be difficult because it will lead to loss of important detail,

No, it goes up every holiday season, usually around November, then it's taken down in January or February. Then the next year, it goes up again. The current candle is supposed to last until 2014, then they'll probably have to build a new one, but it's not up all year long, only around the holiday
1391:). Yes, the weather was a little dreary that day, but otherwise there would have been long lines of people in the way of a quality image of the gate itself. As for the sky and asphault, could I just upload a cropped version, and maybe try to play with the colors a little? - 603:. I find the labelling somewhat space inefficient.

like the human scale on the right. I would attempt however croping off the white bit on the bottom which is most distracting. If you think the crop is not clearly better you can upload it with different file name and propose it as Alt.

I might be able to get another picture of it from the other side without trees, before the city takes it down (which is supposed to be within the next few days). I had kind of thought the trees gave it some scale, but I guess not? —

OK... rotated 0.5 degrees, top & bottom cropped slightly & very minor gamma fix (just to try to brighten it up a little)... didn't want to ovrewrite the original, in case it was too much of a change... -
1435:
I think Alt is much better and that it was worth the effort. Changed my previous vote for original only. I stay neutral on Alt however, as I don't have enough background knowledge on the topic to judge its EV.

I think the EV is that it's the front gate of the number one zoo in America, and a regionally very well known sight. Also, I went and took the picture due to a request for it during

741:- Is not that I don´t agree with the nominating reason, but this picture should be a featured image nominee instead of valued picture (also in commons). - 672:
