Comment At this point, I fail to see much beyond some steps and a pigeon. Is there anything specific, that I'm missing ? --Dey.sandip (talk) 18:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Quite a lot, actually. See Ostia Antica. Kleuske (talk) 11:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ostia._Theatrum.JPG shows the environment better --Dey.sandip (talk) 15:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think you're joking. This isn't about the environment or the tourists. This is about the theatre. Kleuske (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Neutral May be I am more enlightened now about the subject. But I would have liked if the photo itself had some feature or characteristic to highlight the importance. Simply looking at it, does not really tell much about the significance of the place to a casual viewer. --Dey.sandip (talk) 11:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Maybe because I'm European, I understand Kleuske's purpose very well (and I like this minimalism very much).--Jebulon (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support It looks good, but I have to agree with Dey.sandip: the focus is too close. A broader perspective would have been better. Michael Barera (talk) 21:24, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like abstract forms but this fails to reach FP imo. The pigeon is a big flaw. The lighting is shadowless and not particularly flattering. The 4:3 crop doesn't seem to suit. Colin (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strange. The pidgeon is what made this picture interesting in my mind. The image isn't cropped. Kleuske (talk) 00:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Crop/frame same difference. The sensor crops reality. Colin (talk) 08:37, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No "wow" effect for me, sorry --Stas1995 (talk) 17:22, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
