Oppose - Sharp image but very awkward angle. Is it possible to shoot from straight ahead from a location further away (telephoto)? --Janke | Talk 19:36, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as above. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New versions not FP quality. You need a nicer day! Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:41, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I actually like Alt. 2 - the overcast lighting prevents blown highlights and sooty shadows. The sky could be better, admittedly. Some careful levels/curve editing could improve this one quite a bit, though - as is, it's too dark IMO. --Janke | Talk 11:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have made levels/curve editing and some other minor adjustments as advised above. The edited photograph has been uploaded as a new version on the same image (Alternate Image 2). Pl share your views on this latest version. -Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 12:31, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely better now. Suggest you ask for this nom to be closed, and nominate the edited Alt 2 as a new nom. --Janke | Talk 13:50, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Janke. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:22, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose would be nice to have the whole statue in frame, not just a part from strange angle. Mattximus (talk) 03:09, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I am submitting two alternate images of the same statue taken from a different position. Alternate Image 1 is in wide angle covering the entire statue and portion of the compound in which the same is situated. Alternate Image 2 is taken in telephoto from the front covering the entire statue in line with what is advised by Janke. Pl share your views on the alternate Images whichever one is more appropriate. - Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
