A copy of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker in front of the Kyoto National Museum in Kyoto, Japan

Self-nom. A picture which, I believe, excellently captures the statue and the beautiful facade behind it. Rdsmith4Dan | Talk 21:18, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. The overcast day makes the features of the statue less visible, which is also optically cut in half by the background building -- Chris 73 Talk 00:43, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC).
    • On the other hand, I find full sunlight tends to be a problem with most statues, the contrasts end up too strong and you loose the shading. A diffuse light and key light is often best (and pretty much impossible outside). -- Solipsist 17:24, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I agree with Chris. Gpowers 01:36, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. There are much better pics of the thinker out there (inc. the one on The Thinker)Cavebear42 16:51, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • Nice though it is, that Thinker looks like its copyright status isn't right — the photographer would also have copyright and without source and attribution we don't know who that is. -- Solipsist 17:24, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
