•  Info all by Florstein -- Alex Florstein (talk) 09:35, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support -- Alex Florstein (talk) 09:35, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Unfortunately taken on a sunny day resulting in harsh shadows (especially the long horizontal shadow on the top), otherwise worth another try (on a cloudy day). Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 10:00, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support --Hubertl 10:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Christoph. --El Grafo (talk) 10:29, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Strong support. High quality, high EV, still very nice even with a bit harsh shadows. -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 11:18, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Shadows are an issue, but most of the statues are not in shadow, so it is ok for me. Great quality! --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Christoph. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 14:03, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment - I want to recognize the achievement of this photo, so I'm reluctant to oppose it, but I basically agree with the point of view of the opposers. This is a very good photo, but it could be better. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Christoph Braun. INeverCry 18:47, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Shadows don't bother me. Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support --Yann (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Strong support. When such a Frieze is photographed under lighting that does not cast the shadow from above, the whole Frieze would look a lot flatter and more boring. Only by taking the photo in sunlight, the 3-dimensionality of the figures is fully emphasized! Good work! --Rftblr (talk) 18:26, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Per Robert. --Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:56, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Support --Σπάρτακος (talk) 20:56, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Christoph does have a point, but "featured" does not mean "perfect", to me. Absolutely everything can be wished to be better, and then better still. Here's ten bucks saying the original sculptor actually had the same criticism of his own work when he first saw it in bright sunlight. Nothing to be done about it now. It's out there, and that's how it looks. The shadow is an integral part of the frieze. Deal with it. --Schwallex (talk) 02:21, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
