  •  Oppose I like the composition, but the sky is noisy and some purple artifacts are visible. -- Alvesgaspar 20:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose IMO it looks too random. --Erina 21:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    What does that mean? It seems pretty purposeful to me (i.e. taking a picture of the memorial). Dori | Talk 00:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: It is obvious to me that the author of this image expended a lot of work on it, so it is with great reluctance that I withhold my support of this image. It would appear that the numerous tourist were cloned out of the image, a little of that would have been acceptable, but the end result is that the image has a number of artifacts which make it an unfair representation of reality. (Look carefully at the steps of the monument and the repeating pattern in the grass.). I admit that getting a clean picture of this building will be a challenge. --Gmaxwell 20:31, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. Thanks for pointing it out Gmaxwell, although I feel very different about it. A lot of work might have been put into the image, but it was not for good. The picture felt odd at first glance, without any people there is no sense of scale and I didn't even recognize the image at first. Heavy photo manipulation like this should be strongly discouraged in my opinion. After all commons mission is foremost a repository for an encyclopedia. And as such it has a certain obligation to the truth and reality, which supersedes aesthetic fancies. Apart from that the clone job is not too great anyways with all the visible artifacts --Dschwen 21:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
