Support - I find this photo moving, and in this case, I believe it actually helps the composition and makes it more poignant for the figures in the sculpture to be in shadow. Likewise, I don't think the lack of strong direct light is a drawback at all. I also find the overall composition harmonious and sufficiently sharp to satisfy me in this context. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, but there's too much going on and the light isn't really FP-worthy in my eyes. A good QI anyways. --Code (talk) 17:51, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A disagreement about what good light for this subject consists of is a matter of taste, but if you would, please elaborate on what you mean by "too much going on". I enjoy moving my eyes around this composition. Do you feel that the hedges distract inordinately from the memorial? If so, that's just another disagreement as a matter of taste, as I consider the photo to be about the combination of vegetation and a memorial with village houses in the background, not just the memorial. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:00, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's mainly the wooden house on the right side of the background and the cut part of the roof at the left side. Together it makes the picture look unbalanced (the foreground is symmetrical while the background is not). The hedge itself is completely ok for me. I can imagine why you thought this could be FP but I'm sorry that I can't really agree. The light is too dull for my taste, maybe I'd give it a pro if the memorial was lit by the warm light of a rising sun or something like that. Of course, it's all a matter of taste. --Code (talk) 11:31, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I appreciate the explanation and understand what made the difference for you and why. Thank you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:51, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per Code. INeverCry 18:37, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Also per Code. ~ Moheen ^(talk) 22:08, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good quality but no good motive. Especially the lamps placed on the commemorative tablets and the watering-can disturb. -- Spurzem (talk) 21:02, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination - Obviously, the chances of getting 8 supporting votes for this photo are vanishingly small. I still like the photo, but I understand the basis for not considering it to merit a feature. Thanks for your votes and remarks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:51, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
