  • Support – it's lacking an English description on the image page, per FP criterion #7. Bammesk (talk) 03:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Very dramatic, but this user isn't usually a fan of nighttime water-reflective compositions, which don't present the subject as well as daytime photos do. – Sca (talk) 14:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Daytime images have more EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:14, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose From having visited this rather strange monument (which the official guide notes was in part constructed to discourage Germans against democracy), the photo doesn't really capture how it appears. A daytime photo would have stronger EV in regards to appearance, as well as to better capture it's rather over the top design: there's a risk that night shots glamorise it.

    Rather simplistic. Keep in mind that allies on the anti-French side included not only Prussia, but also the UK. -- Sca (talk) 15:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
