  •  Oppose The image is well enough rendered (though there is some red/green CA in the top left on the black text). But the full image is this and for an artwork, I can't see a particular justification to support an arbitrary crop at FP. Fine for a QI, but surely our "finest" images of artworks would endeavour to be high-resolution copies of the whole work. -- Colin (talk) 11:36, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Colin Interesting, red/green CA is probably worse than man without head with spoiled focus. Otherwise good represantion of old slavic cyrilic letters. Because of that, maybe it could not pass QI, but definately worth of FP (representing of Slavic culture). In any case, pro photographer with 1.6 mill shots and top camera against hobby camerman with Canon EOS 60D. Crop might be beter, but putting of failed FP + and here - is wonderful. Suppose that president is more then this cultural heritage. --Mile (talk) 14:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Some CA is acceptable (imo, though not to others) in a great photo of a scene, and I'd also be more permissive in a ultra-wide shot as CA is harder to eliminate in such lens designs. But here we are reproducing an artwork and the bar for "finest" on Commons for artworks is really rather high. I have no idea why you are comparing to a snap photo of Obama, these are about as far away from each other, photographically, as it it is possible. To be honest, I think it should pass QI as it is certainly a useful photo and of good quality -- I think QI's obsession with pixel peeping is extremely harmful to the project. We have plenty FPs of frescos and other religious art that include most/all of a scene. I don't see why we should start featuring random crops, unless the cropped view is exceptionally notable or there is some physical reason why photographing the whole scene is very hard. -- Colin (talk) 14:51, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Mile, of course it's just a random and non-notable crop because it depicts something that affects hundreds of million people, while the fresco is older than some advanced civilisations today. As for the "man without had with spoiled focus", don't forget that he's a supranatural deity that everyone here must worship, otherwise risking to be either bullied or blocked indefinitely and reported to the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team.:)--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 00:24, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Regretful oppose per Colin. Our goal with painting digitizations should be the whole work before we consider featuring a crop. Daniel Case (talk) 18:00, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I have to agree with the others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
