Support - I think this is a really striking image and a fine picture of the pagoda. I can imagine objections to the wires and the modern tower, but that's what's there and I find the photo a worthy candidate, anyway. We can consider it a picture with the pagoda in the foreground and a slice of life in modern Myanmar in the background, including the people who I at first thought were cultivating rice but may be gathering something growing by itself near the lake. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:06, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Oppose I'm afraid that it has several technical issues. BTW I woudln't despise clonig out wires and towers since photographically speaking they don't represent well "a slice of modern life" but are rather disturbing. Sorry--Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 09:18, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Comment - Of course I understand and even anticipated the reaction you're giving me, but to partly address it (and I hope this doesn't come across as vehement, let alone personal, and I mention that in parentheses because I know it's very easy to misread tone online): I think people may be too quick to clone things out. Not everything in a photo needs to be a perfect representation of an ideal view that doesn't exist. The wires and the tower exist, and the pagoda is maintained in a modern country that has electricity and other things. It's not some mythical, timeless thing of anyone's imagination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:54, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment On the contrary, I appreciate your comment but it's obviously a matter of personal taste and a lenghty discussion out op place here --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 11:52, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
