  •  Info created by ggia - uploaded by ggia - nominated by ggia -- Ggia (talk) 11:12, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The Lakshmana Temple (Khajuraho, India) is dating 954. And this one (IMO) is one of the most eccentric erotic sculpture over there.. -- Ggia (talk) 11:12, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Katarighe (Talk) 12:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose technical flaws: shallow DOF (bottom half of the sculpture is out of focus) and bad exposure (lots of overexposed and blown white parts). I don't evaluate the content, but if I look at some older candidates, this image cannot be featured because of the motive (e.g. here). --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 14:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  OpposePer Carschten technical opinion. About content: older candidates? This one is dated 954 C.E. ! (lol). But not so "lol", in fact. All the difference is here, IMO. May we could re-discuss about the contemporary Funtanari artistic merits in a millenium and a bit more... ?--Jebulon (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info I don't find any comparison with Funtanari.. this is sculpture is part of UNESCO world heritage. Open your eyes and read Khajuraho Group of Monuments - UNESCO page. If you like to see more "porno" go to the video by UNESCO youtube channel Khajuraho Group of Monuments. Ggia (talk) 16:35, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - seriously problematic content, and quality of the photography is unexceptional. --Claritas (talk) 19:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Opposing because of content is not acceptable. This is a UNESCO world heritage site. But quality is not the best. Yann (talk) 04:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I will try to upload another version as alternative. I agree that hate-content votes are should not be acceptable in FPC. Not only it is a UNESCO heritage site.. but this place is also a religious place and comparison with images like Funtanari may make some religious people of that culture upset.

    • Sorry, images of zoophilia are abhorrent, because a) it's perverted b) it constitutes abuse of the animals, because they can't make informed consent. We can host this content because it's legal, but it would be inappropriate for it to be showcased in a FP gallery, per principle of least astonishment. I've removed the image from this page, because the Featured Picture Candidates page should be SFW. --Claritas (talk) 20:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Well, not necessarily worth FP to me (now Wow factor), but as it is a photo of an ancient statue (just showing this practice and no live act), removing the image from this page is clearly an overreaction. Following this logic we need to bannish every photo of statues and paintings of crucified Jesus, because they show a barbarous torture to death, "which may be problematic for some users". However we decide, we should at least be consistent and not tolerate representations, where men are tortoured to death in a slow and cruel way while at the same time we complain about representations where something is happening to animals without their informed consent. I re-added the image and recommend to keep it above the voting list until the voting period is over, for reasons of fairness. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 18:58, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info It is a sculpture outside a religious temple. May-be you like may-be not. But has high EV as content, and there are a lot of scholars that are commenting about these kind sculptures in these temples. For example in this sculpture with the woman covering the face scholars are commenting that zoophilia was not something acceptable that time. If you look to it as a piece of art. it is not abusing animals (how art can abuse animals? - it is not a real video or whatever).. also everything in this sculpture are not well sized. The horse is too small.. each phallus too big.. etc etc. I plan to upload another version without the shallow DOF.. Ggia (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose no problem with the content, but just because it's overexposed. Tomer T (talk) 16:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 thanks for the comments - I uploaded another version of this image, with not overexposure, DOF Ggia (talk) 11:27, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
