MarioWiki:Featured images

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

At the Super Mario Wiki, Featured Images are those quality, intriguing, witty, provocative, rare, important, and otherwise simply interesting images that can be found throughout the site's articles. Users are encouraged to submit and vote on nominations for the Featured Image displayed on the Main Page. Every week (on Thursdays at 17:00 EST), a new image is selected to be featured. This is done by subtracting the number of oppose votes from the number of support votes in each nomination - the image with the most "points" at the end of the week will be featured. Any image with a negative amount of points at the end of a week (that is a nomination with a majority of opposes) is removed from the selection process. The only condition for nominated images is that they must be in an actual mainspace article on the wiki. No personal images or images from non-mainspace pages are allowed. New image nominations can be added to the Featured Image Nominations section below.

Archived nominations of images that were featured in the past are found here.

This page follows the No-Signature Policy.

 * 3) Good picture. :D
 * 4) I love this picture!I also realy like that game,it's fun!
 * 5) got my vote
 * 6) i love this game, and so this pic!
 * 7) Love this picture!!! You can't get enough of this. I more than agree it should be a featured Image.
 * 8) Great Quality
 * 9) Common or not, it's a great picture.
 * 10) Per all; this is one of my personal favorite group pictures for a Mario spinoff installment. Enough said.
 * 11) It's okay,and there's a boo in the benches.
 * 12) Yoshi Koshi Moshi Nice 'n colorful.
 * 13) Better than most other pictures we see.

 * 15) This is a great pic and a fun game!
 * 16) I like this picture because A) It has great quality B) It shows a fair amount of characters and C) It's just a good picture! The ball is blurry and I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen.
 * 17) Even I don't like this game, this picture have everything to be featured.
 * 18) Great game, great pic.
 * 19) It's a colorful picture! Besides, the actual boxart doesn't show Wario, Waluigi, or Boo.
 * 20) Per LeftyGreenMario
 * 21) This pic is way too overused, even in Europe, but Petey is in the background so its an automatic yes from me!

Oppose

 * 1) - This is like the ssbb picture. It's just too common of a picture.
 * 2) Per my reasons for opposing the Mario Party DS box-art.
 * 3) I am Zero! This is the box art, seen too many times. Zero signing out.

 * 6) Like Lu-igi board said, box art shouldn't be featured.
 * 7) Per Lu-igi Board.

 * 9) All you can really see is Mario and no one else.
 * 10) Per Zafum... I've seen this WAY too many times before...
 * 11) Yoshi! Ok, I've changed my mind, per SMB and Zafum.

Comments
Images like this are the reason we have the 'featured image' page!

I think we have enough boxart covers in this list.

I like how green and colourful the image is, but it centers too much around Mario and neglects the other charas in the background (And Bowser looks like he seriously needs a potty break *pats Bowser*). -

Wing-Cap Mario Around the World

 * Subject: A picture of Mario flying around the world.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) I think it looks much better than my other FI nominations. The real image (not the thumbnail) is larger, but only has one resolution. Besides that, I think it looks nice. It is very colorful, and represents a good amount of SM64 worlds and levels.
 * 2) Yoshi! This actually  quite a good picture. Nice job. But maybe you could give it a better name?
 * 3) I am Zero! Alright I'll support, but make the image bigger, or find a better quality one. Zero signing out.
 * 4) I'll support it because it looks awesome, it's from one of my favourite games,and there's a Boo in the background.
 * 5) The image is covered with the perfect amount of Mario so that we can see him, and the planet.
 * 6) i like super mario 64.
 * 7) We all do. Nice pic!
 * 8) I've decided to support this image.  It has a nice cartoon-like look.  And besides, who doesn't like Super Mario 64?
 * 9) Yoshi Koshi Moshi Per Booman, Marioguy1 and Hrothgar.
 * 10) This Picture From Super Mario 64 Looks So Cool!
 * 11) I support for it's color.
 * 12) A nice quality image.
 * 13) I'll support...

Oppose

 * 1) Nah, the quality's bordering on 'too small' and the background characters look a bit off.
 * 2) - It looks too simple, doesn't have the highest quality, and looks too simple (Note: I said simple twice on purpose).
 * 3) Not much to see in this picture.
 * I agree with all the opposers.
 * 1) It just really doesnt look that good to me.
 * 2) 4.75/10. It's OK, but not FI quality.
 * 3) Agree with above comment.
 * 4) What?! Mario looks orange! This picture dosen't deserve to be on the front page!! I mean seriously,the quality stinks!!
 * 5) It's been here so long I've seen enough of it.
 * 6) Per everyone.
 * 7) There are better images on this page. Also, it's been here for a long time.
 * 8) I think it's about time this image should get taken off.
 * 9) I should have opposed this the second I saw it! this makes Mario look huge and the planet look tiny. Who would want that to happen even if he's awesome? Also, theres a sky background! This picture was made slovenly.
 * 10) I changed my mind. This picture has been here too long and it doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Comments
I think this image looks better in its full resolution.
 * What's funny is that the image was uploaded a year ago to the day (30 June 2008)

if this image was remade today, it would look great, but at the minute it looks to simple.I won't support or oppose.

Well, might I point out that most older artworks of Mario games have this kind of simplicity and quality, per say. What makes up for its simplicity, however, is that it is colorful, it represents a unique and classic game. The game it represents, SM64, is revolutionary in the time it was released, and defined a new era of Mario games. Also, this artwork represents a video game that is over a decade old (if this image were selected as FI, this would be the first to represent an N64 game, and the second oldest FI in terms of what game it relates to). So you see, this image is decent enough and would represent a very important point of time in gaming itself.
 * Besides, our next F.A. to be displayed on the main page is SM64. Why don't we feature this image of SM64 along with it on the main page? That would be rather nice to have both of them related. This would be the first time a FI and a FA are featured on the main page at the same time and are related to the same game.

How do I make the image bigger?
 * On this page? You're not allowed to do that. The image is supposed to be only a thumbnail here.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Dry Luigi: The Super Mario 64 box-art is with the featured article on the main page.

This one is Meh-ish. Like I said as my reason for opposing, it's good, but not THAT good.

I know! Like I said. It was made slovenly, there's too much that doen't fit in. It's like they just threw stuff in just to make it look epic.

Cast of Super Mario Bros. 3
Subject: Scene depicting the main characters of Super Mario Bros. 3. Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) A true classic.
 * 2) I have a poster of this!
 * Cool image! Time to feature an old school Mario game.
 * I am Platitudinous, the awesomest word in the worldiverse! This is a great piece of art to go with a great game like SMB 3. Ciao!
 * 1) Looks good. Per all.
 * 2) per Time Q.
 * 3) Yoshi! Fantastic! And a classic too!
 * 4) I like this pic. Zero: Why do you think this is poor quality?
 * 5) great pic
 * 6) Great picture.  It brings back good memories.
 * 7) VERY NICE! I love the game too!
 * 8) - Nihaho needs moar koopalings! (I hope someone gets that joke)
 * 9) Per all. But Bowser looks different than what he does and Roy's shades look weird, but the great quality, scene, and it's overall appearence is good.
 * 10) Great pic a true classic.
 * 11) I'll support it because it's a rare picture
 * 12) Bowser looks weird but is a cool picture.
 * 13) I like classic pictures!
 * 14) - The roots of a series should never be neglected, and it would add an interesting contrast, if this would be featured. Therefore I give my full support to this picture, even if I have to admit that Bowser looks strange with black eyebrows (but who cares, if he's wearing an awesome cape?).

Oppose

 * 1) I am Zero! Yes this is a true classic, but, it is too blurry in the background. Zero signing out.
 * 2) Too crowded! Oh ya and plat... your word is smaller than mine (see the above section)
 * 3) Per MarioGuy1.
 * 4) What Zero777 said. Too blurry
 * 5) Per all. It's not so great.
 * 6) It's sort of odd isn't it?
 * 7) Eww! Its blurriness in the background and lack of entertainment makes it a little bland.
 * 8) I have 3 resons this shouldn't be featured, 1)There is too much going on, 2)It too blurry, and 3)it just boring!!

Comments
I am Zero! Well Zafum, it's a little blurry in the background, that's all, but if there is a clearer one, then I'll support. Zero signing out.

i dont get why you care about quality! the only pictures that have "good" quality are from the newer games, therefore all clasic games are out. and personally, I'm one for the classics.

its kinda crowded.

I like the Goomba's shoe. It kind of annoys me it was only in one level, but in the new Nintendo Power they mention an enemy in M&L3 that "Should remind Mario fans of a certain enemy from World 5-3 of SMB 3."

Were did you find dis pic? 'Cause maybe there's a Super Mario World cast picture I can upload here.
 * At Gamekult, the only site where I found it with this resolution (and even without a watermark).

Zero777, Shyster66, MechaWave: What do you mean by "blurriness"? To me, it doesn't look blurry at all. You do know that the image above is just a preview and you can enlargen it by clicking on it, right?
 * Ipsc00I, how can it be boring and have too much going on in it at the same time?

I'm not taking sides here, but whats up with the beaver outfit?! I just don't get it!
 * What beaver suit? I think you're thinking of the Tanooki Suit.


 * Nah, it's the Raccoon Suit. The Tanooki suit is something slightly different.

Smash Bros Army

 * Subject: The cast of Super Smash Bros Melee, assembled for battle.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! This is a great pic, great quality and Not Box-art!
 * 2) I am Zero! This is sort of like the SSBB image, but I'll support it, I want to see it one more time in the main page, just enlarge the image more. I can really see this with a comment like "The whole cast of Super Smash Bros. Melee, assembled in for a Melee". Zero signing out.
 * 3) per Zero, I only opposed the SSBB picture so it could be deleted as it was around for way too long.
 * 4) Very good! My favorite so far!
 * 5) I SEE ROY!!! (and young link with his milk) can't say no to this
 * 6) - I like this one.
 * 7) I remember how amazed I was when I first saw this picture.  It's great.
 * 8) It seems a bit repetitive to use the word "Melee" twice in the subject area, but the image is good.
 * 9) Yoshi Koshi Moshi I WANT THIS PICTURE FEATURED.
 * 10) Super Mario Bros. is right, and I think "battle" would be better. Looking at Luigi, though, it actually seems like what he'd do during an important pic like this.
 * 11) looks awesome
 * 12) - I actually like this picture.
 * 13) Why do a bunch of Luigi fans whine about what Luigi is doing? he looks cool to me. And the Brawl cast picture is just like this except they're facing the other way and with a white background.
 * 14) This is actually pretty good.
 * 15) Great pic possibly better than the Brawl one.
 * 16) Melee was fun! The picture is nice! Great game with great picture!
 * 17) A great image from a great game.
 * 18) Very actiony. Plus, Luigi's shooting himself

Oppose

 * 1) i just think of this as the Brawl one.... they were used a lot in the past.
 * What the!? LOOK AT LUIGI!!!
 * 1) I am really tired of this image. P.S. Luigi is doing Green Missile.
 * 2) Just to hate the graphics in this game, they look to fake. Also, nothing stands out, they don't even blend in. Not a good picture in my opinion.
 * 3) ...I hope this wont turn into a war like the Mario Party DS picture...
 * 4) - With so many characters, the image looks (to me) like a mess at 300px.
 * 5) I'd like the SSBB cast better than this. It's just more action-packed than this.
 * 6) it has too much going on!!! When i first saw the picture i was looking for Luigi...i found him.....IN THE SKY!!!
 * 7) Image is extremely overused.
 * 8)  it can't stay here for ever.....
 * 9) it's not all mario characters :/

Comments
Yoshi! Looks Even Better bigger...

if only roy and mewtwo were in brawl...

IS PICHU RIDING ON BOWSER!

I got my Brawler Card on my page.

why does everyone care about graphics!!! so what? it was for the gamecube and the gamecube doesnt have the best graphics in the world.


 * One person criticized the graphics.

I certainly do not like the fact that not even half of Bowser is visible on this picture, but opposing because my favourite character has a disadvantage on a picture seems not right to me, so I better abstain. -

Oppose

 * 1) GARGLE HARGLE BARGLE! translation- All they are doing is swinging on vines!
 * 2) I've seen it to many times. It's become boring now.
 * 3) Per Galactic Petey.
 * 4) Luigi looks weird, Wario is face down, and Mario, DK, and Peach are swinging on vines!!!oh wait, how can you forget Yoshi, who is to swinging on a vine! Boring AND lame!!!!!
 * 5) - The graphics are a bit out of date.
 * 6) Good but not good enough to be featured.

 * 8) A bit out of date and quite boring....

Comments
Lu-igi Board, do you mean "bliss"?

no.....I imagine it is not a word americans are used to. Lu-igi board

How is being "out of date" such a bad thing? It's still a good image.

NSMBWii Character scene

 * Subject: The characters of NSMBWii together on a level.
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! I like this one even if there is a white background as it is new and shows a peek at NSMBWii. fantastic quality.
 * 2) We NEED to put this on there. We NEED to spread the news.
 * 3) per all. I can't wait to play this game!
 * 4) I am Zero! Very unique, and since it's an upcoming game it should go on the main page, but if there is one with a background then I'll reconsider. Zero signing out.
 * 5) We've already had an image based on the original, but I like it anyway.
 * 6) just can't say no
 * 7) per all, and i cant wait either
 * 8) - I've decided that from now on my biggest concern in images will be the placement of characters and for this image, I rank it a Pass!
 * 9) - Can't wait and great artwork.
 * 10) Per all.
 * 11) - The first time I saw this, I almost fainted! I can't wait for NSMBWii!!!
 * 12) Like you all I can't wait for the release either and featuring this image will get people even more exciting. Gee, just check out the quality!
 * 13) Dispite the blank background this picture just looks so good it makes up for it.
 * 14) I can wait for this game to come out and the picture is really awesome even it has a white background.
 * 15) I love it! It looks so cool and so......... Mario!
 * 16) How could anyone oppose this or say it is boring? This is going to be a great game and this pic represents everything that will make the game great. The white background is a little boring, but the pic already has a lot of color
 * 17) I can't wait for this game so I support.

Oppose

 * 1) - Even though it has an extremely high quality, It's lack of background and there being a very small amount of things to see in the picture makes me much more inclined to oppose.
 * 2) It looks like the artist just randomly placed stuff on a white piece of paper.
 * 3) Per Hrothgar.
 * 4) It looks very cloudy which means it has no background. And it looks they are all giants right on the horizon.
 * 5) no backround says all.
 * 6) This is just artwork composed together without a setting. Lame.
 * 7) I think it looks like someone got a bunch of single pictures, scrambled them together and forgot to put a setting. a.k.a, it looks like a 3 year old made it.
 * 8) I agree with ForeverDaisy09.
 * 9) It's like the Ice Mario pic. It needs a background to be featured! It's so boring!
 * 10) Well, I can do that in Paint...
 * 11) Per Lpsc001.
 * 12) The background is white. Talk about boring.
 * 13) This picture is so boring. I can just take 3 new pictures, recycle some others, paste them together, and there: Featured Image!!!
 * 14) I dislike this picture because first, there's no background. Second, unlike New Super Mario Bros. DS, I can copy and paste the artwork into that and there.
 * 15) Per everyone.
 * 16) - It... it has no background. *refreshes* Uh, nope. Still no background. Just white emptyness. Hm, maybe if a version with a sky background or something like that is found, but in that state... better not.

Comments
Shouldn't there be another character instead of two generic, nameless Toads?

who's to say they won't be named? 08:29, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

I have an idea so crazy it just might work. The third character is the Toad named Toad, but player 4 is... a Shy Guy! It sounds odd, but it may work. For example, when it gets a Propeller Suit, it becomes a Fly Guy! Genius, right?

my god that is genius! 11:53, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. I came up with it while looking at the page for "Mario Power Tennis" when I saw the pics of Shy Guy and Fly Guy.

They should have Hammer Bros. in Galaxy 2.

it will be beter than the ds game

having no background makes the picture look better! Lu-igi board 06:17, 29 July 2009 (EDT) p.s I have a poster of this! woot!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dudes and dudettes, I have found the tentative release date for this game! It is November 2nd, 2009!

Who was it that thought, on the wired.com interview, that Miyamoto was serious about the cake thing? It was a joke!

Why are alot of people supporting it because they think the game looks good, but they're not saying alot about the picture which, by the way, I made an exact replica of in MS Paint.

I hope Nintendo would make better game art than this.

This picture is stupid. I hope it gets removed soon. It only meets one condition of a FI: quality. And I don't consider FIs actually do-able on Paint for, like, 5 minutes.

Lemmy Koopa Fan is right. People aren't considering the image itself (which can be done by almost any person) before voting. They are only supporting it 'cause the game looks epic. And yes, the game will surely be epic. Now, supporters, go find a "Which one of these games do you think will be great?" poll with a "NSMBWii" option on it and cast your votes there, not here.

Barrel Blasting through the Jungle

 * Subject: DK Barrel Blasters Scene of a few characters. Enlarge to see better.

 * 5) per all.
 * 6) the best DK pic I've ever seen! Lu-igi board 09:33, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) This is very cool. I like it because it reminds me of a Mario Kart image.
 * 9) It's a great image, even with the blurry background (obviously that happens cause they're at high speed).
 * 10) YES!!!! It could have more characters but YES!!
 * 11) This pics great, but could include King.K.Rool on a giant barrel jet! Its still a cool pic, though.
 * 12) Love this picture.

Oppose

 * 1) - There are only three characters and the background in blurry. Really boring!
 * 2) Yawn!!! It is SOOO boring. this should NEVER be featured!!!
 * 3) This is blah. :P
 * 4) I agree with McQueenMario.
 * 5) Per McQueenMario
 * 6) This is the MarioWiki, not DonkeyKongWiki.
 * 7) Too boring to be featured
 * 8) Too blury
 * 9) It looks so empty. This is not a bad picture, but it's just not good enough to be featured.
 * 10) Per LeftyGreen...

Battle of the Minis

 * Nominated by:

Support

 * 1) Yoshi! I know its a screen shot an all but its just great with good lighting and fun to look at.
 * 2) Let's see how this turns out...
 * 3) This is a screenshot? It looks like artwork. And this picture is also very unique. i've never seen it before.
 * 4) Awww! I like it.It's cute. Plus I never saw it any where else!!!
 * 5) - Nice image, like the reality of it
 * 6) Per Lemmy.
 * 7) I am Zero! Great resolution and overall a great picture to be in the main page. Zero signing out.
 * 8) this image is full of power! Lu-igi board 04:30, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 9) - There is no blank space or lack of characters...
 * 10) Though I agree with Time Q that it's a low quality picture (when enlarged), I really like it so I support this one :)
 * 11) it's one of those screenshots that you really want and can never find online!!! Like all the other good screenshots out there that Nintendo doesn't care about and we do
 * 12) I think it looks great! Why not? It looks better than some past featured images.
 * 13) Per Bloops.
 * 14) At first glance, the Minis looked strangely realistic.
 * 15) I loved the picture at first...and still like it! It's a rare image.
 * 16) Low Quality, but rare.
 * 17) love pic not a big fan of the game though
 * 18) This pic reminds me of the game, epic and fun!

Oppose

 * Low quality. Even in its standard size, which is quite small, it's pixelated.
 * 1) Per Time Q.
 * 2) Just plain boring. This shouldn't be a FI! Also, per Time Q.
 * 3) Per Time Q.
 * 4) Per Time Q
 * 5) How can we have a so low quality Image in the Main Page, even if it's "cute" or something like that.... saddly i think this time "Quantity wins over Quality"
 * 6) Per all. The quality is just too poor.
 * 7) Small, blurry, and uninteresting image.
 * 8) Time Q's right.
 * 9) Yup... Per Time Q.....

Comments
Time Q: For a screenshot, this actually has pretty good quality.
 * Click on it and you'll see it has very low resolution. We can't put that on the main page, since it needs to be enlarged.

Well,I admit it's kind of small. But I'm still not removing my vote.

Before you keep supporting this image, please click here. This is as big as the image can get, and even in this size it's pixelated and low-quality. We need images that can be enlarged further if we want to put them on the main page.

Yeeeaaahhh...? It doesn't really seem THAT small. I still think it's featured image worthy.

Yoshi! Time Q, main page resolution is lower than this one.
 * Yes, but visitors should be able to enlarge the image on the main page. When you hover over it, it even reads, "Click for a larger image." When users do that they'll see a pixelated image, which is bad.

Great... looks like this is going to be our first low-quality FI... oh well :(

Mario in the Forest of Illusion

 * Subject: Artwork from Super Mario World depicting Mario, Goombas, Wigglers and a Bob-omb in the Forest of Illusion
 * Nominated by:

Support

 * It's a quite funny scene in a likeable comic style from an excellent Mario game :P
 * 1) Well, we currently have one that's similar, but you do have a point.
 * 2) Ehh, What the heck! I'll support it.
 * 3) - It accurately shows the many different varieties of foes available in that certain level of Super Mario World, no more, no less.
 * 4) wow this is just epic!
 * 5) It's awesome.
 * 6) Every Super Mario World artwork must be featured :D!
 * 7) Simply LOVE SMW artwork
 * 8) I love comical moments like this!!
 * 9) Liked the game, liked the picture
 * 10) Another comical moment
 * 11) I like Mario's expression in this picture!

Oppose

 * 1) Alright this has been here for too long and it's become boring.
 * 2) I changed my mind. This is kinda funny, but per Lemmy Koopa Fan.

Comments
Lemmy Koopa Fan: Too long? It's not even been two weeks, just look at the images at the top of the page :P

Yes, I think this has been here for too long. Because it just doesn't have as much "pazazz" as the ones at the top of the page. So when there's a picture like this compared to the other ones, after about two weeks, it gets boring fast. P.S. When it comes to images like these, I'm slightly impatient.
 * I guess that's okay.
 * But please remember that Featured Images are not for us editors of this wiki, but rather for the readers. They probably have never seen this picture, and thus would not be "bored" if it was featured on the Main Page.

 * 1) It's colorful, there's action and there's more than boxart. Plus, it's not boxart for everyone.
 * 2) per BabyLuigiOnFire.
 * 3) Even though I don't care much for basketball this is a good, FI-worthy pic.
 * 4) per all
 * Great quality, uncommon style. Like it!
 * 1) a-w-e-s-o-m-e!
 * 2) It IS a boxart but it's okay.
 * 3) pure epicness on a stick! (whatever that means....)
 * 4) I am Zero! EPIC. Zero signing out.
 * 5) It needs to be featured!
 * 6) - Look at the detail of the background characters, everyone's doing something and nobody's just there, this is great!
 * 7) Great picture.
 * 8) Great pic.
 * 9) I could see this as a featured Image.
 * 10) After learning from Time Q that the cat thing is called Moogle, I had to say yes - Such a cool name! :)

Oppose

 * 1) I love the picture, but I've seen this just too much...
 * 2) There is a reason I won't vote for this. that's because Peach is close and Luigi is way over there. I hate that now Nintendo is pay more attention to "Mario and Peach" than "Mario and Luigi" Oh ,and this picture way over used.
 * 3) This picture is wierd. It has real looking clouds in the background, but 2-d in front.
 * 4) Yoshi! Not really cared for basketball or this artwork. Not a very good game either. Also Per DaisyRox02.

Whats that cat thing in the corner?!
 * That's Moogle.

Dry Bowser: Um, you love the picture, so, why are you opposing it?
 * He's seen it to much. Please read the whole comment.

Why do people care so much about Luigi? At least he's in the picture.
 * It's just like how Daisy is placed in the Mario Party DS picture, I guess.

Well, you shouldn't be paying attention to your fav character in the pic, you judge it overall. Even though I don't like this pic, it's not because my fav character (Daisy) isn't there.
 * Well, I just remember that someone opposed in the Mario Party DS picture and said, "Daisy is almost nonexistent."

For some reason, it seems to me as though Peach has no idea that she's holding a bomb.

I won't vote on this to avoid being unfair. I just want to point out that Wario looks very stupid on this picture. I have a feeling like he's gonna explode any second (don't know why). Ah yes, and Peach IS going to explode any second. I like the fact however, that Luigi is about to trounce Mario with that Koopa Shell. The green guy's definitely underrated. I'd like to see a Luigi-FI here some time in the future. That'd be nice. *personal rant ends here* -

Superstar Saga second picture

 * 1) - Of course I would support it. The picture is very classic and has a great personality to it. I really think it has the potential to be a FI.
 * 2) I am Zero! Nice, big picture; I really like the comic book-like greyness. Zero signing out.

Oppose

 * 1) There are too many M&L images here already and unlike the others, it really isn't that interesting to look at. The background also looks kind of lame.
 * 2) - This image is too grey for me :(
 * 3) We've had it before and I didn't like it then.

Uhh, this image was already nominated and it was passed down. And I think there will be people ranting about how sick they are of M&L pictures, right?
