Info All, except the sculpture itself (!) by me (talk) 16:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC) -- Jebulon (talk) 16:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support The very famous bronze sculpture of the Charioteer of Delphi. ca.780 bc. The athlete is possibly Polyzalos the Deinomide. Sculpture ("severe style") could be by Pythagoras of Syracuse. Height: 1,82m. We don't have so many works of art as FP. Black background here, but a transparent version is available in the file page for your creations. Picture taken in the Archaeological Museum of Delphi, Greece, no flash, no tri/monopod. -- Jebulon (talk) 16:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If you spent so much time with background and clearing edges you push a bit more for new one, but i would increase format, seems very tight, black doesnt combine so nice. Somethinhg like this or this. --Mile (talk) 12:39, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for comment. Are you kidding ? Oh my gosh no, never ! My goal is to submit something real and perhaps useful, not such the cheats you suggest ! I can manage such a work easily (maybe you will find some in my old galleries), but if you have a look in the category, you will see many versions with the natural background, which is so horrible than you cannot deal with. If you prefer, I can nominate the transparent version. The subject is the statue itself, no need (as for me) of so many chantilly on the cake. Thats why the size is not important, but I will increase it for your comfort. Anyway, you just demonstrate that I am right: With my basic material, you can by yourself create all psychedelic background you want ! Be creative ! Thanks again.--Jebulon (talk) 16:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think the isolated subject is useful and there's good amount of detail/resolution here. I'm not particularly keen on cutting out subjects, though accept that one can't turn up at the museum with some black cloth and ask the guards to hold it for you. File:Delfos, museo 13.jpg shows that from a certain angle with a certain lens you can achieve a plain background, though the chosen colour isn't pleasing (other photos suggest this one is paricularly saturated). -- Colin (talk) 12:37, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think the cut-out job has been done very well and the results are FP quality. Cmao20 (talk) 07:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
