Info The Statue of Liberty of San Marino is a gift received from a German noblewoman, Ms Otilia Heyroth Wagener. She commissioned one of the most esteemed sculptors on the international scene, Stefano Galletti, and gave the order to create the work using the precious Italian Carrara marble as raw material. On 30 September 1876, a few months after the sculptor was commissioned, the Statue of Liberty was solemnly inaugurated in front of the Palazzo Pubblico and gave its name to the square below: Piazza della Libertà (Liberty place). The San Marino government, in response to a gesture as noble as it was welcome, granted the Duchess her noble title as Duchess of Acquaviva, one of the nine castles of the Republic of San Marino. The statue represents freedom as a warrior woman who proudly advances towards the future, with her right hand stretched forward, while holding the flag in her left hand. A crown has been sculpted around the head like a city wall from which the three towers rise, a symbol of San Marino over the centuries.

Weak support Amazing image quality but I feel like I want to see more of the plinth Cmao20 (talk) 20:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I had thought about being able to photograph the base as well, but unfortunately there is not enough space for a complete shot, without creating distortions due to the disproportion of the work. In other words, if we measure the cubic dimensions of the base, the central part and the statue, there are percentage ratios equal to 80%, 10%, 10%. What does it mean? To lose attention on the most important and beauty part: The statue and its significative details. Thanks anyway for your right observation, I am going to create a (little bit) longer version.

- Support Both are OK for me. --Palauenc05 (talk) 21:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support Both are good, the other one looks slightly better to me --LexKurochkin (talk) 07:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support Prefer this slightly better than the alternative version. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 17:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Alternative longer version[edit]
Comment In this alternative version, I left the complete stitch of twelve images (3 cols - 4 rows). They have contrast and tone slightly stronger.- Info Read above, please. All by Terragio67 -- Terragio67 (talk) 21:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support this one. IMHO the image IMHO fits much better into our Statues outdoors gallery than in the ‘exteriors’ gallery; I have taken the liberty to change the gallery link. It’s not nessary to repeat the gallery link in the ‘Alternative’ section; I have removed that second link. – Aristeas (talk) 13:53, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Neutral Great sharpness, as usual, but neither the subject, combo or light are extraordinary to me. Poco a poco (talk) 18:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC)- Comment Your observations are partly shared by me. For the objective lack of difficulty in taking photos of non-dynamic objects and for the potential subjective feeling of lack of wow (in these specific cases), we agree: this candidacy was a gamble. Lately I've been paying attention to only send photos that have a good chance of being promoted. So why did I want to risk nominating this photo to FP? I'll try to be brief: The statue is made of fine Carrara marble, of which there are different types. Stefano Galletti, author of the statue, chose the whitest marble with purple veins. Now try zooming in on the statue's arms and you'll see the arms veins pop out too! Terragio67 (talk) 05:46, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I dont see any good use of such high pixelage here. It already became factor of disturbance, since nothing else is so small to capture details. I more miss nice texture. --Mile (talk) 07:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I completely understand your point of view. To go into more detail (example: also visualize the veins of the statue) perhaps, I should have concentrated more on the statue and not on the plaque or the sky or the base... Thank you for expressing your opinion in the comment, I will take it into account in the future! Terragio67 (talk) 10:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
