Reason
Just look at it. Carved from one block of marble. Click it two or three times to enlarge detail - that's where the fun is. Self-explanatory. "How'd he do that?"

  • Yes, remove this amazing image of one of the most acclaimed statues in the world from Wikipedia. Who is "we"? And why isn't it feature quality? No explanation given, and the premises for deleting it are all guesswork with three "probably" reasons involved. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:06, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Paul012 has uploaded another enlargeable image of the statue (which could do with some horizontal cropping). Nice work. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This one expands to 1588 by 834. Why wouldn't that size qualify, and why limit the featured picture candidates to such a high bar? Having a discussion on Paul012's talk page, and am surprised to learn that only one marble statue image has ever made it to featured picture. Can this lack of marble statue images be remedied by a change in the wording? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • How did that become the minimum? This one is 1588 by 834, seems large enough, and a 1500 by 1500 requirement is one that instantly excludes many good images. Maybe a revisit of this guideline is in order. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:37, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
