Original – Panoramic view of Puerto Encantado at dawn, in the town of Higuerote, Venezuela.
Reason
A great panoramic view of this Venezuelan town that evolved in the coasts of the Caribbean Sea. In my opinion, it fulfills the requirements of a featured picture.

Isn't that called "perspective"? Land isn't always horizontal every which way one looks. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 17:15, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Normally one interprets perspective automatically. Otherwise the whole world would look crazy. However, in this picture there is to my eye an illusion that the scene is tilted downwards at the right. 81.159.109.130 (talk) 03:51, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Not sure. On one hand I like the photo on the other I'm not sure about FP status. Framing at both ends is a little questionable and while the overall colour of the image is apathetically pleasing the colour of individual areas of the image is more questionable at full res. That said it doesn't really detract from the overall impact of the image so err not sure.©Geni 20:58, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose while nice at thumbnail size, rather soft at full res. I agree with Geni's concern as far as color. EV is not too great. --WingtipvorteX PTT 20:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
