Info Hello 245CMR, welcome and thank you for your first nomination! A little hint: Every nomination should include a link to the gallery of featured pictures to which the newly nominated image should be added. As a little help I have added that link for you above. All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 20:29, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Very nice painting, but it's apparently cropped, as we can see the signature and year cropped in the lower left corner. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:52, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Well I just took a look at all the sources of the painting and the official site releases this much. Also, I could not find any criteria that image should be always full. Please inform if I am wrong..245CMR.•👥📜 03:58, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment It's rather unfortunate that the signature got clipped. I am sure improved quality Varma digital will be online soon, as they are celebrated works. Damayanti is the centerpiece in a recent "Mythology and Classical Drama" segment that gives a rather detailed layout of Varma gallery. Talk by Ganesh Shivaswamy.

- Comment Yes, photographs of paintings should always show the entire painting unless they are expressly details. Moreover, this is Featured picture candidates. Featured pictures are classified as "one of the finest images" on the site. A photo of most of a painting with part of it cut off can't be one of the finest images on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per others, plus based on our other featured painting digitizations I think this one really should be bigger. Daniel Case (talk) 14:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
