•  Info Bust of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria with velvet red backlight. --Mile (talk) 08:15, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support -- Mile (talk) 08:15, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support very good! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:46, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Question Shouldn't the image end where the object ends at the bottom? The extension of the background beyond the object seems odd to me. — Julian H.^✈ 09:08, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
  • @Julian why should it ? This kind of framing give a bust more artsy value. Stretching podium to picture edge isn't so esthetic solution in this case. Don't let should's and must's spoil your imagination. At the end, beauty is always in the eye of observer. --Mile (talk) 11:28, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
    •  Support Better now in my opinion, thanks. — Julian H.^✈ 13:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

* Support I like the background the way it is. Charles (talk) 14:30, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Support I liked the background the way it is, until, I noticed it is all photo-edited Charles (talk) 14:30, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Now OK. Charles (talk) 17:42, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Charles. That edge just doesn't look right the more you look at it. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
• I aligned the edge. Hope you like it now. Daniel Case, Charles, Julian... --Mile (talk) 08:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

 Support OK now with template noted. Daniel Case (talk) 17:50, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

• •  Comment Are you saying the background is all natural, not photo-edited? Charles (talk) 09:41, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
    • @Charles: Not at all, I made this background (but isn't that obvious ?), and it deliver much better feeling when observing statue. It extract it tonal and with contrast. And this is not first case, sculptures are often done with artificial backgrounds in photos. And I am sure I did good job with no mistakes, and it takes some time to make it. I am actually surprised by voting so far, since I don't see any flaw here. --Mile (talk) 09:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Info Charles check here, too see what is good way to treat sculptures, artificial background is way to solve the issue. --Mile (talk) 10:04, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I like the image and I'm sure you weren't trying to deceive, but FP guidelines say you should use {{Retouched picture}}. Then I can support. Charles (talk) 12:07, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Done Template added. --Mile (talk) 13:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Σπάρτακος (talk) 18:04, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Weak support 800 iso isn't the max,but the result is good LivioAndronico ^(talk) 21:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • LivioAndronico I dont understand what did you mean. If I could go lower ISO ? Probably for a stop, to higher, also for a stop max and not to spoil it. But no such fine details on sculpture anyway so no harm even if some higher ISO. --Mile (talk) 17:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Nothing Petar. I simply say that to be a picture at ISO 800 is a good result. LivioAndronico ^(talk) 20:25, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 22:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Come on, Mile ! More good pictures of ART here in FPC ! This one is excellent, I'm not sure the {retouched} template is necessary here, as the new bg is obvious, with no doubts for the viewer.--Jebulon (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanx Jebulon for kind words. There will be some more to come, I will try to make some original appearance for sculptures, not to look like just boring shot. But I am worried for paintings here...obviously my nominee will fall short for one vote. --Mile (talk) 09:19, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Verde78 (talk) 10:45, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Tremonist (talk) 15:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose the composition is fine, but for me it is not sharp enough for FP.--Hubertl 10:01, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
