Info created, uploaded, and nominated by myself. This photo is showcasing four different phases of the construction: armature installation, draft cementing, sculpting, and painting. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 08:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Comment Not the usual type of photos that I shoot but I thought of the building lovers over here who might appreciate it. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 08:34, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Never been a fan of pictures in which buildings, monuments or other things/places are covered up, especially with such restoration (or what is it?) constructions. It is even much bigger problem for me than the poor lighting. -- Pofka (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Construction doesn't mean restoration. They are building it up from scratch. -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 06:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Support In my opinion there's nothing wrong about showing the world in its current state. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:13, 4 March 2015 (UTC)- Oppose @Frank Schulenburg: Nothing being wrong about that, on the other hand, does not necessarily mean the image in question is among our finest. This one isn’t IMHO. Sunlit side of the statue is blown, contrast in the rest is rather poor, level of detail is by no means outstanding. Not a bad pic but still well below FP threshold for me. --Kreuzschnabel 09:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose The subject is fascinating and the sharpness and resolution are really good. Really interesting to see all the phases of construction, as you said. Sadly, some areas are clipped and the image would benefit from some editing to improve the contrast. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 18:32, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Not so much bothered by the idea of it being under renovation, but here it isn't photographed creatively enough to add something to the image. Worse than that, though, is the lighting as noted by Kreuzschnabel. Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- You are the second one referring to it being under renovation when this photo shows a statue being built from the ground up. Are my file name and description that bad? Isn't it obvious enough when looking at the photo in full size? -- Christopher Crouzet (talk) 02:02, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think Daniel acks the idea behind the photo but doesn't find the execution to render as great as you intend it to. - Benh (talk) 18:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Pretty much. OK, so I mistyped—it's being built, not rebuilt. But that doesn't substantively change my opposition. Daniel Case (talk) 02:59, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
