• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Sculptures#Statues outdoors
•  Info Worm's-eye view of the Buddha statue in Ibiraçu, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Created, uploaded and nominated by ★ -- ★ 19:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Yes, it's a giant Buddha statue (possibly the largest in the Western Hemisphere) in the middle of an almost unknown town and in a Christian majority country (BTW, taller than the Christ the Redeemer). -- ★ 19:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Yes it's a very impressive place but the image quality is not great at full size and I'm not convinced by the perspective looking upwards at the statue, there are more interesting compositions of this statue on the internet. Also it's visibly not centred even in thumbnail and with no obvious mitigating reasons why getting it centred was impossible. Cmao20 (talk) 20:25, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

  @Cmao20: the place has been receiving more and more tourists, so I tried to take a shot from a perspective where they wouldn't get in the way. ★ 22:49, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Question Could you perhaps centre the image? --SHB2000 (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

  @SHB2000: the lotus petals are not symmetrical at all, but I added a more centered (or centralized?) version. ★ 22:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Did you try BW ? --Mile (talk) 09:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

  @PetarM: BW? ★ 09:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

• Black-White. --Mile (talk) 12:01, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

B&W version

• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Photo techniques/Black and White#Objects
•  Info B&W version added. ★ 12:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I uploaded a new centered version but I rollbacked myself because it need author approval. If you think that its ok you can just use that version Wilfredor (talk) 14:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Don't worry, you've permission to improve any of my images without prior request, you're my inspiration. ★ 14:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

better not, I feel that that is an abuse Wilfredor (talk) 14:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 Support It's nicer than the version above. ★ 15:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Support In this case, the black & white version works better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support yeap, it works. --Mile (talk) 16:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --Yann (talk) 22:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Much nicer! --SHB2000 (talk) 11:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 12:19, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support The perspective looking up still does not really appeal, but I think this is overall interesting enough for FP now Cmao20 (talk) 15:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support, congratulations to ArionStar. RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --Tournasol7 (talk) 15:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Question Is it possible to remove the original photo as alternative and thus to be included in the fifth day policy? ★ 16:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

• I don't think so, but why rush? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

  Just out of curiosity, because I've never seen anyone do this before. ★ 00:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

• In any case, the fifth day would be tomorrow 02/03/2024 at 12:43 for this version, not earlier, and the FPCbot would catch it even later. There were recent discussions related to this matter in the FPC talk page archives (as I remember, the answer was no, but you can dig into) -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

  BTW, the bot is also not able to archive a withdraw nomination if an alternative version exists. ★ 12:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

• Noms with 'Alts' can't be closed on the fifth day per this discussion. An 'Alt' is always connected to and depending on the code of the original image. (I have fixed that for your with the number of "====" in the heading.) If you propose an 'Alt' you also have to abide by the consequences of that. You are always looking for shortcuts and fast-track options, but you must learn to be more patient. --Cart (talk) 18:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
