The article is new (created on 20 April), long enough and within policy. No copyvio per Earwig.

The hook is short enough, interesting and inline cited. QPQ done.

The image is free, is shown in the article, and looks good at small size. Everything fine, thanks for the interesting read! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 10:08, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Anypodetos: I emeiled the artist and he uploaded two great photos of the sculpture. Wonder if you could take a look, and maybe we would replace the one in the nom. One, two. I am unsure, because the scale of the photo we have now is shown in the outdoor field. Bruxton (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the one with the black background (File:Dancing with Dandelions at Night.jpg) works great at that resolution. If you pick it, please make sure it appears in the article. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:50, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. I will put it in the article and perhaps a promoter can choose between them. Bruxton (talk) 13:53, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
