Info I recently visited one of the most photographed statues in the world and found myself looking for non-obvious motifs. This is a two-frame HDR that puts some emphasis on the architectural context he's been in for the past 150 years. Does it work for FPC? Who knows, but I was happy with it. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 13:43, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is one of the best composition I've ever seen about Donatello's David. You deserve a strong Support. Terragio67 (talk) 14:18, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Just doesn't work for me - Benh (talk) 18:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, the framing doesn't do anything. Why would it be used to show the subject? --Fernando (talk) 19:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean as, like, an infobox image? That's just not the purpose. But is fine if it doesn't work for you, of course. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 19:57, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  No, no! I understand you're going for an alternate take and you're not trying to take a descriptive photo of the David. But I'm unsure of what you're trying to show, and what's the intention of the specific framing. Seems very arbitrary, and none of the elements tell a story or do anything to me.

Support Very interesting. Works for me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The composition does not work for me. The section of the statue seems arbitrarily cut out and tilted. The dark arches, at the bottom and at the right are awkwardly cropped and make the background cluttered in my view. The sky through the dome appears totally white. It's not a special time of the day like blue hour or golden light. To show this sculpture in its context, I think a panoramic view of the sculpture in full in the whole room would be more informative -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Certainly a matter of taste. For my eyes which are tired from seeing too many boring informative shots of this statue, this composition is refreshing. It does not tell me much about the statue, of course, but finally it makes me think again about it, about the gallery and about my visual habits; and that is more than enough for me ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 09:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support An interesting, different perspective on a world-famous motif. -- Radomianin (talk) 11:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Radomianin. Sorry to correct someone - a lapsus for sure, but it's the David of Michelangelo. ;-) --Harlock81 (talk) 12:19, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
yes, my mistake, you were right to point it out. Terragio67 (talk) 14:03, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a beautiful compo to me. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 21:52, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This composition doesn't really work for me either.--Peulle (talk) 08:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not good composition. -- Karelj (talk) 16:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination ah well. Tried something different. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 02:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
