- Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 11:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support From a special exhibit in the National Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris, a slovak statue of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Banská Stiavnicá, Slovenské banské múzeum, ca. 1500-- Jebulon (talk) 11:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support, but this time not immaterially ;) Interesting picture, nice colors, good quality, sophisticated masking. The composition is okay, too, even if I miss something really outstanding. But however good enough to be featured imo. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 11:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Comment Generally good, but the masking seems to have eaten slightly into her forehead. Is there any information available about the man she is standing on (e.g. religion or nationality)? --Avenue (talk) 13:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for review. I've read some articles, but didn't find anything concerning this symbol. Maybe a pagan philosopher, according to the legend. I've trusted the caption in the exhibition. Catherine's symbol is generally a wheel with teeth, instrument of her martyr. Here we miss the hands of the statue, and maybe accessories too... I wanted to show the work of the wood, the nice golden drapé of the cloth, and the pretty face of this statue, an hesitation between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance--Jebulon (talk) 15:12, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support This has grown on me. I prefer this version to the "other version", mainly due to the background, but I'm glad to have been able to compare them. --Avenue (talk) 20:12, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

- Comment -- The image would benefit from some brightening and contrast enhancement, imo. I don't like the "levitation" feeling either, even for a saint. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose deficient levels, sharpness and nasty reflections - masking is rather poor. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 18:28, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- Question I've tried improvements (levels, WB, levitation, reflections, masking etc...) on another version. I would be happy for feedbacks or other helpful comments, here or on my talk page. Thanks to the reviewers for losing time.--Jebulon (talk) 23:39, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
- The statue is better in the alternative version but I don't like the background. Maybe it is possbible to mask it keeping the base (or part of it). -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

- Support--MASHAUNIX 23:05, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I think that "the other version" that Jebulon pointed out is better than this one.--Snaevar (talk) 01:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for feedback.--Jebulon (talk) 01:15, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support- I see no problem. Wish i could take such pictures in museumsMulazimoglu (talk) 17:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
