•  Support - That's a pretty striking picture, and of obvious socio-historical and educational value, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose While it may represent an important memorial, I find the photograph itself lacking. Low overal contrast, distracting reflections of the trees, distracting floating leaves hanging on the side of the memorial. It looks like a snapshot to me. The context of how the whole puddle looks is also missing, IMHO this should have been included. --LB 09:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• "Looks like a shapshot". :-( Never seen snapshots like this. It was made with tripod and I'd choosen a long exposure to accentuate the trees. IMO the the cloudy day is good to show the memorial in autumn. --XRay ^talk 09:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• @XRay: Good to know that you took care when making the photograph, and I respect your decision to render the trees sharply, but still, I find the composition lacking and it doesn't represent the memorial well enough for my taste. I would have liked to see the whole puddle and its decoration around it. As it is, you kind of included the edge of the puddle, but only a bit, and not enough to give someone a good idea of how the whole memorial looks when standing in front of it. --LB 15:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• This must be from polar bear and the keeper ? I would put into description. --Mile (talk) 12:27, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

• What are you talking about? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
  • I thought its about that polar bear and Zoo keeper in Germany. Both died i think. --Mile (talk) 21:26, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

@PetarM: Mile, I know you're not a native German speaker, but neither am I and yet I can clearly tell from the filename that this is "Memorial to the Sinti and Roma victims of the Nazis". As such I can only assume that you were trying to make a joke, and honestly it's in poor taste given the real purpose of the memorial. Daniel Case (talk) 04:57, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

He means en:Knut (polar bear) resp. en:Thomas Dörflein, but still I'm not sure what it all has to do with this memorial. --A.Savin 20:01, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

• Sorry Daniel Case, i havent saw word "victims". Joke...grow up. --Mile (talk) 06:56, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
  • This is description in English : Memorial to the Sinti and Roma in Berlin-Tiergarten (Dani Karavan, 2012), Berlin, Germany. --Mile (talk) 07:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

@PetarM: "Ermordeten" means "murdered". I rather think that expressing disapproval of trivializing a crime against humanity like that is the grown-up thing to do ... Daniel Case (talk) 18:53, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose It gets low readings on my wow-o-meter, sorry. I agree with the assessement of LB, acknowledging that it is not a snapshot. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:09, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per others. lNeverCry 23:08, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose My complaints about Mile's sense of humor aside, the reflection ruins the simplicity of the memorial otherwise. Daniel Case (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
•  Question - I'm looking at photos in Category:Memorial to the Sinti and Roma in Berlin-Tiergarten, and what I notice is that this part of the memorial is in water, so every photo of it includes a reflection. How do those of you who think this photo doesn't properly reflect the "simplicity" of the memorial propose for people to photograph it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Looking at the first days of nomination there is no chance to get FP. Thank you for your reviews. --XRay ^talk 05:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
