#1 Kinkaku-ji, the Gold Pavilion
#2 Kinkaku-ji, the Gold Pavilion

Appears in Kinkaku-ji. From the Commons. I think this picture really highlights an essense of Japan.

  • Breathtaking. Simply wonderful. Raven4x4x 00:01, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Good clear image, detailed and well balanced; characteristic architecture. Okay on reflection the sky is washed out, this one (#2) is better --Nantonos 01:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Although I like this, I don't think it's the best photo on Commons or Wikipedia. Check Kinkaku-ji and commons:Kyoto#Kinkaku-ji temple 金閣寺 and see which one you like. I'm partial to the photo by Stephane d'Alu: the bright blue sky complements the gold very nicely. Fg2 06:44, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The washed out sky is a little unforgiveable. Enochlau 13:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • It looks to me like it was just cloudy. I'd support either, but perfer the first one, the second could do with being closer focused on the building itself. Raven4x4x 05:02, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
    • The second picture's dimensions are acceptable, but the building itself occupies too small a portion of it, leaving out many details. Enochlau 09:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - First one is ruined by sky and second one is too small.--Deglr6328 20:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • ( − ) Oppose Agree with Deglr6328 --Fir0002 07:37, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Prefer the first, as the second has that crowd of gawping tourists at the right edge, but both are very nice - MPF 16:29, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The sky in the first image misses color and the tourists in the second one, together with the bigger distance don't make that one ideal either. - Mgm|(talk) 12:37, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support second one -- Chris 73 Talk 07:44, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support the first one. Renata3 18:29, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted though it breaks my heart. Raven4x4x 05:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
