@Charlesjsharp: What other photo should it be? File:Laocoon and His Sons black.jpg looks a bit cleaner to me, but is a modification of the nominated photo. This one is the current reconstruction of the group, it's the original group in the Vatican and not a copy, and it seems the best photo to me out of the category. Afaik, it qualifies for VI because of that. Best, —DerHexer(Talk)08:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC) PS: Main author of dewiki's featured article on de:Laokoon.[reply]
My version is from the vatican, its the original. The black background version is technically inferior and has some parts cut off, such as the edge of the snake on the left that was bitten in the process of turning the background black. --Wilfredor (talk) 10:02, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
