Info Detail of the ceiling in the Coats-of-Arms Romm (Sala dos Brasões), National Palace of Sintra, Portugal. This is a extraordinary Renaissance work constructed in the begining of the sixteenth century, during the reign of King D. Manuel I of Portugal. It represents the arms of the king, on top (not shown, see here), the arms of his eight sons and daughters (hexagonal frames), and the arms of 72 Portuguese noblehouses of the time: (rectangular frames). A very difficult shot owing to the shape of the ceiling and the lack of light. All by Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Oppose Really lovely detail, but it has too much shadows for me. The picture's top and the left corner are light, however the other part is much darker. Looks quite unsuitable to be FP. Could be if the whole picture would be as light as the top (or the left corner, I prefer that color gamma even more). -- Pofka (talk) 14:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)- Oppose Mostly as above. Looks taken handlheld, and I feel you couldn't do otherwise. Quality in itself is still fine. I'm more concerned about the composition. The lines and the lighting leads my eyes to the top and there's no so much to greet me there, which is wrong in my opinion. - Benh (talk) 17:54, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
