• Comment I have the feeling, that you could edit the levels of this image some more. There is some space left on both sides of the histogram. Very nice image btw :). --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:49, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
• Neutral The quality is so good, that I can't oppose it. However, the base of the monument is missing, which lowers the EV of this image imo. And since this is still Wikipedia... ;) --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
  • True, this is Wikipedia. Including the full base of the monument would have meant the composition was very messy (as I alluded to in the nom), but fair enough. If people oppose for that reason, I will accept it. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose It's a pity, it's such a gorgeous image, but cutting off the base (and not just a blank concrete base, there are further statues down there) really kills the EV as per above. Staxringold _talk^contribs 23:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
• Support Awesome quality shot. It even looks good on my (usually) lousy monitor! Even without the base, I think this has excellent EV since you can make out so much detail. Sure, I'd love to see the base too, but I don't think it's necessary. I really don't think it's worth the background clutter you'd need to get a complete shot.

• Neutral. Amazing detail at full res. Hard to support without the full monument, however. Kaldari (talk) 15:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
