Support The Creation of the World, Extraordinary cuppola and drum of the dome of the "Chigi chapel", showing the planets, the sky, and in the middle God the Father, in the church Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome, Italy. Cartoons are from Raphaël, and there is no other example of mosaic by him. Please enjoy the details. I chose a black surrounding, in order to eliminate ugly distractive elements below, not made by the master.-- Jebulon (talk) 16:01, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Technically well done near to perfect. You managed a difficult light and shooting situation very well. But I am thinking if it is eligable to remove the whole [[::File:Roma-santa maria del popolo.jpg|context]] of the painting and put just black around it. Probably you can provide some background information about your rationale for this decision. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What may I say ? Only this : please, read carefuly the nomination and the file description page... Of course the blind background is intentional, in order to focus the attention on what I want to show. I hesitated with a .png version with only a round pic and no backround at all. My goal is to question the reviewer too. "Is it a plate or what ? Oh no, wow, it is a ceiling !" Anyway, sorry, This is not a "painting", but a mosaic. Of course we all have seen the picture you links. The "context " you mention is out of scope (i.e. Else than the mosaic, and not by Raphaël), as I was just centered under the drum, there is nothing else to see, except, as I already wrote, distractive lights from windows, and other architectural concentric "circles". And I wanted to hide all little parts of the paintings/frescos if any visible, only distractive (and again, out of scope). But you understand this very well, I'm sure, even if everything is always discussible without end, of course.--Jebulon (talk) 00:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support Thanks for your explanation. It stays a very good shot. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:29, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
