Review (criteria)	Comment - I don't think this is the best scope. Maybe "Castel Gandolfo"? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Castel Gandolfo is a small town and the Pope's summer residence is only a part of it. For the scope Castel Gandolfo this one would be better: --Berthold Werner (talk) 09:18, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Oppose It is the best there is, but i do not think it illustrates the subject well enough. There are too many distracting elements in the foreground; people, painitings, fountain. The buildings on the side cut away a substantial part of the view as well. If you get the chance to take this shot again, I would go there early in the morning or late in the evening (where the lightning is better too), when it was less crowded, stand on the other side of the fountain, use a wide-angle objective to get it all in one shot, or (with my own much simpler equipment) take a series of images and stitch it together afterwards, see, e.g., here and here for two recent VIs, where this was done. -- Slaunger (talk) 08:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Good idea, unfortunatly Castel Gandolfo is 1200 km away from my home . --Berthold Werner (talk) 13:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Result: 1 oppose => Declined. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
