CoA Pius V
  •  Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 19:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Detail of the sculpted ceiling of the church Santa Maria in Aracoeli, on the Capitole Hill. Here, the relief of the coat of arms of pope Saint Pius V (1504 - 1566 -1572), of the House of Ghislieri. Rome, Italy.-- Jebulon (talk) 19:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think, I'd increase contrast a bit Poco2 21:50, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --S. DÉNIEL (talk) 14:41, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment To be honest I have difficulties with such art nominations. The motive has definitely Wow potential but isn't it the wow coming from the original artist and not from the way is is photographed? For me as a person who is mainly interested in photographic aspects of Commons it is difficult to assess how much work is by Jebulon and how much work is from the original artist. If there was special effort necessary in order to photograph the motive in the way as it is done here I can warmy encourage the photographer to provide these information with together with nomnination. --Tuxyso (talk) 16:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you enjoy ? Then support is the last word. Do you think a FP needs to be difficult to be taken ? IMO you are basically wrong, but in this case, be sure that it is difficult. To photograph anything inside, without tripod, among tourists, is very hard. Do you think that post-processing work must be hard and must take time ? Again, you are wrong IMO. But be sure that it was hard and took a lot of my time. Anyway, you can compare with other similar works, like (no offense to the photographer) this one... I don't see any difference with a garden perspective photograph or a nice building picture or a wonderful mountain landscape (What is feature-able in Versailles ? The Le Nôtre gardens, or a very good picture of Le Nôtre gardens ? A nice old building is feature-able because of the photographer, or because of the architect ? Idem for anything). I've nominated this picture, simply because it is different, because I think the technical quality is up to the FP standards, and because I find this beau-ti-ful. And, more than any support vote or any FP star (I've got enough), I'm happy to share, from time to time, my vision of beauty with high level other photographers, better photographer than me. But at the end, once FP technical standards checked, let your heart speak. If you hear nothing, then ignore, and assess another picture. Long explanations in nominations has never made a picture better... Have you ever seen that kind of ceilings before ? This is the best relief of the CoA of pope Saint Pius V we have, and remember: this is not a wall, but a ceiling...
    • About pictures of works of art in general, as for me I just abstain for paintings (especially when famous), because I'm never sure of the colors (remember the last "Van Gogh", recently nominated with a very different alternative). But I think all other works of art are welcome here. When I nominate the Pietà of Michelangelo as FP candidate, be sure that I chose a masterpiece, and a ++ very good (IMO) version, very "worked", and deserving at least the nomination. That's an interesting discussion, and I'd be happy to continue it with you, dear Tuxyso. But it is not the place, and the "Babel" problem is still here...--Jebulon (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --JLPC (talk) 17:31, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I honestly believe that the vertical lines on the right side needs perspective correction because they are not straight -Miguel Bugallo (Lmbuga) 23:41, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have no doubt about your honesty, but as already answered in QIC page, the line is so in real, because it is a 1550 wooden ceiling. Try a correction by yourself, and you will see that straightness is impossible, because it is NOT a deformation due to the lens.--Jebulon (talk) 01:18, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Nice but a little bit noisy and a very little too much of clarity for my tastes --Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
     Support Ok, thanks, it's better IMO Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:14, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
