•  Info Temple of Augustus, Pula, Croatia. The Roman temple is dedicated to the first Roman emperor, Augustus, it was probably built during the emperor's lifetime at some point between 27 BC and his death in AD 14. The richly decorated frieze is similar to that of Maison Carrée (Nîmes, France), and these two temples are considered the two best complete Roman monuments outside Italy.

•  Support absolutely! (You might want to clone out a couple of star trails. It also appears as if the image needed a minor perspective correction. But no biggies, I'd support anyway.) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:26, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment - I was going to oppose because of the crane. Now I'm not sure, but I do know that I'd like the photo better without the crane. It's disconcertingly contemporary, an extraneous thing that's overly distracting to me eyes. Sure, the aerial TV antennas are also modern, but I tolerate the better because they're much smaller, and also more or less permanent structures. I would suggest for you to take another photo when the crane's work is done, but I could hardly demand for you to return to Croatia. Nevertheless, I think the crane does make the photo less outstanding than it could be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:18, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

  晴空·和岩: Could you please, elaborate your comment? Do you mean that the building is distorted in the vertical axis? I've cheched elements in the image (like windows) that could confirm that, but they look fine. I also checked other similar images in the web and couldn't see a problem. The fact that I was pretty far from the object, the lens I used and the similarity of the building to the image previous to the perspective correction make me believe that it isn't distorted.

•  Support I honestly don't see the problem. First off, the photograph tells a historical story with the juxtaposition of old and new. Secondly, Diego wasn't in control of whether the crane was there. -- Thennicke (talk) 11:40, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think cranes should be removed. --Mile (talk) 13:52, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
•  Support per Thennicke. Daniel Case (talk) 14:43, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

  Ikan, Mile: the crane is gone. Poco² 18:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

• Neither banding is good now. --Mile (talk) 07:55, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - I'm not sure I really approve of cloning out stuff like this, but the result deserves support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

  Ikan: I decided to clone it out because if I had taken the picture 6 months later the image would be as it looks now. The fact that it is a transitory object and also the fact that the subject of the image has looked like this for over 2000 years is an argument in my eyes Poco² 18:34, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
