•  Info created by Metropolitan Museum of Art - uploaded by Czar - nominated by Crisco 1492 --  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:41, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Info The Crown of the Andes, a votive crown originally made for a larger than life-size statue of the Virgin Mary in the Cathedral of Popayán, Colombia. It dates, at least partly, to the 17th century. It contains 450 emeralds, including some that were purportedly taken from the captured Inca Emperor Atahualpa (1497–1533). This photograph is one of the many released by the Metropolitan Museum of Art under a CC-0 license, which has been a boon to free images of 3D works of art.

•  Support - For a museum shot, I think this could be better. It could probably be a bit sharper, I'd prefer a background that weren't so gray, and the crown could be lit a bit more (I'd love to see this in resplendent light). However, it's still quite good and certainly featurable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
  • I'll be honest, I prefer a darker background myself, like what the National Museum of Korea did with File:Pensive Bodhisattva (National Treasure No. 78) 01.jpg. But, for me at least, that's a purely stylistic choice.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Agreed. The black provides a good contrast, while I find this shade of gray somewhat depressing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:23, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

•  Support A very good shot of the crown. Resplendent light and shiny metal surfaces don't go well together, you only end up with blown areas and reflections. Better to be able to see all the fantastic details on the crown. The grey background also helps to contrast the finer details. High EV. BUT I would like to have the description given above on the file's page instead of just here. This page will be gone from sight in a week or so while the file page will be there for a long, long time. (Why does so many users spend a lot of time on detailed descriptions here and write a bare minimum on the file page?) --cart-Talk 10:49, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

• Copied over. The information was copied from what I'd written for the English Wikipedia nomination, which requires more detailed explanations as part of its FPC process.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:07, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks. That also explains why all the links were faulty. --cart-Talk 13:08, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
