Oppose The photo is not outstanding - and the subject is simply ugly Hein 19:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Comment I can understand you not liking the picture itself, but do elaborate as to the photo, exposure? composition? color? DOF?. This picture is not for the picture itself, but rather, an observation of a culture/religion, a window. An uneducated eye cannot see the beauty beyond the photograph. Appreciate not the photograph, but the sculptures.--Tomascastelazo 20:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)- Oppose --> The image is excessively cluttered and poorly composed IMHO Snowwayout 02:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment What elements would you leave out? Crop it and propose a new version. --Tomascastelazo 03:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't think I am able to improve this image with a simple crop. To reduce clutter a wider view would be be required. Alternatively, concentrating on fewer elements, such as completing the statue at the bottom or the figures at the top. I fell that the perspective, the photo appears to be taken from below, results in both statues being incomplete and cluttered with flowers etc. Anyone else is of course welcome to have a go.

- Comment Snowwayout - Above you will see the wider view. The scence is what is. Is is the remnants of the Baroque period (a dynamic and dramatic style of art and architecture in mostly Catholic countries during the 17th century that stressed emotion, variety and movement. It was a style that used ornate forms as well as illusionism and realism to achieve its purpose. www.wideskiesart.com/fineartglossary0.php). Interfering with the objects or the scene would destroy its intent. Much like shaving the lion´s hair to make him look better. I do not interfere with the subject. This is not about the picture, I invite you to explore the faces, the symbols and appreciate them for what they are. Look beyond the picture. Look beyond the glass. And you can still not like it... no problem. --Tomascastelazo 14:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the wide view, it clearly demonstrates the fine craftsmanship of the period. I can also appreciate how the subject matter would be highly emotional and symbolic for some people. However, my oppose vote is for the image itself (for reasons already given). With respect, this is Featured Pictures, therefore the quality of the picture is paramount.Snowwayout 21:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
