Comment: Regardless of freedom of panorama, the statue itself is public domain because of age. J Milburn (talk) 12:15, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose I know its not exactly the photographers fault, but there's a lot of shadows on this and I can't help feeling that there's detail missing in those shadows... Gazhiley (talk) 10:30, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Also it might be my eyes but the top of the statue appears to be out of focus? Gazhiley (talk) 10:31, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I tend to agree with Gazhiley. Taking the photo with minimal shadows might be a challenge, but it would show the detail that this image just does not. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 01:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
