SHORT DESCRIPTION
Uoaei1, thank you for your opinion. The image has already passed both "valued image" and "quality image" nominations and no objections were raised in either one. However, I respect every opinion and if you still believe that it looks warped I have added a full lenses correction to amend the horizontals. What do you think about it now?

This is ok now. I will re-consider my vote and cancel the oppose vote for now. --Uoaei1 (talk) 19:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support There is a minimal tilt to the right, but easy correctable --Llez (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Just feels too static to me. It might be the best picture of this statue by itself that we have, but it doesn't stand out from other pictures of statuary. Actually I think this image has the right idea—it may have that cylindrical projection problem, but we get a sense of this statue in context as while as the idea that it is part of the daily public life of Stockholm since people are hanging out on the steps around the pedestal.

  •  Oppose I agree with Daniel it's too static. QI for sure, but not particularly striking. Perhaps another angle would have worked better. Technically there's vignetting -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:00, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose After much thinking, I'm landing on the side of 'oppose' for this. This straight forward photo is neither here nor there. This is the Stockholm mini-version of Trafalgar Square, and if you are photographing the monument it's better to include the base/steps and the the whole thing. For a photo of the statue, most photographers go for a slight side view since this will get some air in between the legs of the guy as if he was on the move. The dead on angle makes it a compact lump of bronze. The statue's gesture also invites photos of him feeding the birds, a more lighthearted version of this. --Cart (talk) 10:31, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
