Support After more than 3500 years, this beautyful mourning young lady is still inconsolable... Rare example of so expressive painted terracotta, Egyptian 18th dynasty -- Jebulon (talk) 11:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose blurry, DOF imo a bit shallow. Don't you use a tripod? --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 14:14, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

through a glass... und tripod sind in Museen streng verboten !!! --Jebulon (talk) 15:53, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

good for the museum, bad for the photo :-/ --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 16:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe...I don't know how/why it is "good" for the museums, especialy for the Louvre. But yes, it is very bad for photographers. By the way, it is not because that I am the photographer of this one, but I really love this mourning (and not-so-blurred, IMO)young women (maybe Isis mourning Osiris, see description page) from the ages of the Amenhoteps, Hatschepsut, Akhenaton and Tut-Ankh-Amon pharoes...She looks alive, and it is therefore very rare, instead of hieratic other egyptian figures. For me, it is a mitigating reason for a non absolutely perfect technical quality --Jebulon (talk) 17:57, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Did I say that I'm no fan of crop-outs? In this case the missing detail kills it for me. Also all this crop-outs look very artificial to me. Like some users try to hide that otherwise bad composition. At the end it's nothing i would like to have in a frame at the wall. --Niabot (talk) 12:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand what you mean by the missing detail kills it for me. I don't try to hide anything, except an ugly background behind a glass in a museum. That's why I let sometimes the original picture in the description page, then one can make the comparison. It is the best way I've found, in my opinion, to share with others some nice and rare objects I may discover and photography, useful in an encyclopedic work like "Commons". Some reviewers may basically dislike some kind of pictures, like crop outs, deformed panoramas (in my case), manga drawings, or uninteresting flat landscapes. But systematically oppose crop outs (hidden under all-purpose technical comments) looks a bit fundamentalist to me. There is nothing I can do against that. Only saying : keep your mind open ! I wouldn't have a manga style picture (for example) in a frame at the wall, but I think it is interesting to know things about that. And I'll continue to upload (and submit, maybe) new cropped-out pictures.--Jebulon (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's nothing personal. But if this cutout makes the object floating and it is just not visually appealing to me. Compared to others of your pictures it has its flaws and can't convince me. --Niabot (talk) 20:09, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- Despite the minor flaws. This is probably close to the best we can get under the circumstances. I like the composition and the expression, which is probably (?) an exception in the ancient Egyptian art. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Beautiful and edifying composition and lighting on a valuable subject. Steven Walling 02:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I am convinced after reading the sales speech by the nominator. Very nice light. Good quality given the circumstances. I am also intrigued by the expression of this woman and how old it is. It invites me in as a layman not knowing much about ancient Egyptian artwork. --Slaunger (talk) 15:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm afraid this is not to be sold... Thanks, Slaunger, for this sensitive review. 18th Dynasty (ca 1550-1300 BCE) is a famous, maybe the famous one dynasty, with very famous kings: the series of the Ahmenotep's (with Akhenaten) and Tutmosis', the "king" Hatshepsut, Nefertete, Tutankhamon... Some says it was the most brilliant era of ancient Egypt. The following was the dynasty of the Ramses'. And I think really that this sad lady is very lovely.--Jebulon (talk) 17:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
