Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Short Circuit
Cool action photo that illustrates both problems: short circuits and the cause of many power failures. Shot during a severe storm, July 21, 2006, in Troy, Illinois. Used to illustrate both Short circuit and Power outage articles.

- I'm not sure about this one, even with these edits (particularly cropping in on the subject of the image ... all that dark tree on the right is distracting). I don't blame you for submitting this ... you were in the right place at the right time and caught something dramatic and used it to illustrate a couple of articles. And it works in those.
But is it FP-quality? With my edits, it isn't big enough. Also, the fireball is nice but the sparks have already reached the street. If you had caught it right at the moment of the short, with a fresh spark shower, that might have overcome the other problems. As it is, I think all we can do here is improve its over quality to the benefit of the articles in question. Daniel Case 19:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
