- Oppose. While it's a striking photograph, it doesn't tell me anything about the monument. I had to go to the page to have any idea what the photograph was representing. In short, it's great picture, a terrible illustration. Also, most of the picture is out of focus, and the HDR looks excessive. Mostlyharmless (talk) 04:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose I actually like the composition, but it's the focus that really irks me. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 04:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- You might like it, but you must admit the composition makes it virtually impossible to get any real information from it, which is kinda important! Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- You're right; I never said I would have supported, but it is cool nonetheless. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 14:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose - too small, HDR is excessive (making the monument itself look as if it's been inexpertly cut out and placed on a fake sky), is a confusing way to illustrate the subject in question. Quite nice artistically, but fails on encyclopaedic use. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose awkward composition. SpencerT♦Nominate! 01:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose artistic, not encyclopaedic --Stephen 04:57, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Neutral Seems a bit out-of focus, also, it is not large and doesn't show the monument very clearly. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 13:33, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- A bit out of focus? Significantly... I really don't think it should even illustrate the article at all.. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
- Neutral: I love this photo. Please try and do some work on it, to bring it out more. The EV is low with this one, but its a great image nonetheless. Synergy 00:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
