•  Info Hypogeum of the Amphitheatre of El Jem, an archeological site in the city of El Djem, Tunisia. At both sides of this tunnel are located the cells where the beasts for the games were kept. The amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, was built around 238 AD, when the modern Tunisia belonged to the Roman province of Africa. It is the third biggest amphiteatre and one of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world with capacity for 35,000 spectators within 148 metres (486 ft) and 122 metres (400 ft) long axes and a unique in Africa.

•  Support - I know the metal grate is not an original Roman element, but I love what it does to the photo. This is probably my new favorite out of all of your photos of this amphitheatre that I've seen. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:27, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

  To be honest, Ikan, me too, apart from the nice panorama from the top that ended up 17th in WLM. Poco² 09:46, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose sorry, the metal grate ruins it for me. B&W might work here though --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

  Ok, interesting proposal, I will add an alternative in b&w, first time Poco² 11:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support I like Tunisia in colors, the BW looks too gloomy for me. --cart-Talk 13:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose The top corners are too distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Per Ikan, I think the mesh roof actually makes the picture more interesting—I'm sure the Romans would have been like, "Cur non cogitare?" if they could have seen it. It's a nice combo of old and new. And, to build on cart's comment, the color so works. You could easily expect to see Indiana Jones running past. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

 Info Following Martin's proposal an alternative in b&w. Pinging @Ikan Kekek, INeverCry, and Martin Falbisoner: to let them know about the alt Poco² 11:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support interesting, abstract play of shades, shapes and lines --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:10, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - Either way, it's an outstanding photo for my money. Could they possibly both be featured as a set? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:38, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Support --Yann (talk) 12:45, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose nice, but missing the colors. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. Nice use of perspective, and the top corners are much less distracting in BW. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
