Support But any chance of cloning out the red building on the right? Is that too much editing for a FP? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It is - the building is actually there, so cloning it is misleading. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:47, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since we don't have an article on the subject itself, could someone add some description to the image page? Who designed it, why is it so assymmetrical, what's with the european-looking brick column with statues? 75.41.110.200 (talk) 18:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it part of the Nagasaki Peace Park? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The "european-looking brick column with statues" appears to be the remaining part of the Urakami Cathedral that remains standing even after the bomb. Purpy Pupple (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral although this is significant and encyclopedic, the photograph has blown out highlights and is not, in my opinion, particularly eyecatching. Purpy Pupple (talk) 21:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Those 'blown-out highlights' are really just getting the right exposure to make up for the overcast sky. You can see a person with an umbrella. AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 00:29, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, the bottom part of the monument is cropped out of the image. Nergaal (talk) 04:05, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose on technical grounds, subject cropped, bad lighting, bad exposure, etc... — raeky t 06:02, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
