Info all by me -- Jebulon (talk) 17:16, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support This composition executed in Pompeii, Imperium Romanum. I like the lines, the lateral light, the relief of the stones and the perspectives. And it has a significant educational and historical value. Year 79 CE.-- Jebulon (talk) 17:16, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Yes, interesting forms. Very good composition, very well executed. I like it a lot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral it sure is a good picture and well composed. But I can't come to terms with this harsh, midsummer midday lighting. I won't oppose though. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 18:31, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Martin Falbisoner: Not soooo midday, not soooo harsh IMO. We have shadows, and I think that the stones have good reliefs, due to shadows and lateral light...--Jebulon (talk) 20:10, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment - Also, I think there's something to be said for accuracy, as opposed to only portrayal of an ideal: A lot of visitors come to Pompeii in the summertime. I know that both times I was there, the light did indeed look like that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:13, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Qualified support Interesting interplay of forms and perspective. Color (of sky in particular) is a little strange, and perhaps it could have been processed with an eye toward a more natural tone (this is perhaps related to KoH's oppose). But it doesn't ruin the image for me. Daniel Case (talk) 03:32, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- You may have a point here. Global colors look maybe a bit cold, but I did not change them. As for the sky, it was a (very) little bit reworked with a gradiant filter, from left to right, using the original blue.
