• Comment: I'd love to support this- a gorgeous pic of an interesting subject- but I am concerned about EV. Is there any chance some sourced discussion of the monument could be added to Otto Piene? If it is, this would get my support straight away. J Milburn (talk) 21:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

• I've incorporated information about the memorial in the article about Otto Piene. Is that now in your taste? --kaʁstn 12:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

• Comment There is absolutely no sense of scale at thumbnail size. When you view at full size, you realise (from steps and concrete cubes - which my brain assumes are about the the size as similar blocks it's seen) that it's quite big. I was a bit suprised.

• it's difficult and almost impossible to add a size comparison in the darkness which should have been seen at the thumb size next to a 30 metres high monument. At day it's much easier, see File:Halde Rheinpreußen, Grubenlampe, III retouched.jpg, but the special thing (the wow) with the illumination can just be seen at night. So I think there's nothing I can change. --kaʁstn 21:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

• Weak oppose It's absolutely not impossible to have a size comparison in this photo, there just isn't one. That said it is an amazing photo, with real wow factor, but it's almost misleading at thumbnail size (I had no idea of how big it was). Sorry! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 16:55, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support Being a mining lamp a night shot really makes sense here. JJ Harrison (talk) 01:39, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support A better size cue would be nice (e.g. a person at its base), but good nonetheless. --Avenue (talk) 16:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
