•  Support The contrast is limited, but otherwise it's wonderful. -- Walké 17:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Beyond silence 20:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Correct drawing but not special enough to reach FP level. The kitschy wind-rose should be replaced by a simple arrow indicating the North - Alvesgaspar 21:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Could you suggest, except for the wind rose, what else should be changed in the drawing to reach the FP level? Nikola Smolenski 13:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support I checked accuracy with satellite picture from google maps, and it seems good to me. I ack Alvesgaspar, drawing is trivial, but I don't think common has better than that, and I think this drawing does its job well -- Benh 10:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose To be featured I think it lacks some polish. It looks a bit homemade still. /Daniel78 20:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Do you have any specific objections, so that its author would know what to fix? Nikola Smolenski 13:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don´t see any reason for nomination of this picture. --Karelj 22:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • And do you see any reason for opposing its nomination? If so, perhaps you could share it with us. Nikola Smolenski 13:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but not outstanding. Chabacano 17:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support It is accurate, which is the most important thing for a map, and clear, which is the second most important thing. It may look bland, but that is the color of sand and pyramids, and I don't see how could it be improved. Nikola Smolenski 13:56, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Nikola, I don't know what it is, but it's rare for a map to make Featured picture. It probably has something to do with photographers making the choices. It seems that photos of animals and buildings outweigh all other FPs put together.

In any case, I would suggest that you not try to match the colors of the sands and the structures and instead use standard map-maker colors, such as can be found here. Good luck, and if I find the magic formula, I'll let you know. MapMaster 02:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
