  •  Support shows fine the relation between strong forms (stair, bush, bench ...) and Rodin's annulment of stone — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neptuul (talk • contribs) 06:38, 30 June 2017‎ (UTC) -- sorry, --Neptuul (talk) 07:18, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per KoH & Mile: I can see this being a QI, VI, or possibly Wikipedia FP, but for Commons FP it's lacking a bit on the WOW side of things for me. The statue itself is interesting, but it was captured in a way that really isn't that special (I guess that's what Mile means with "touristic shot"). I've never been there, but the location (were you really standing in the water, btw?) looks like there would have been some room for you to step back a few more metres and use a longer focal length for better subject-background separation?--El Grafo (talk) 07:01, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild  Support - Great sculpture. The light could be better on a different day, which is what causes me to hesitate a bit, but I think the depiction of the subject is clear enough to feature, at least until a greater version comes along. The background is simply what's there and doesn't bother me, and it's deliberately faded. The green water isn't that attractive, but again, that's what's there. You have to deal with the scene before you, and when all these things are incidental to the depiction of a great artwork, you tolerate them. Or at least I do. Have most of you been to this sculpture garden? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:06, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are ways to work around some of those things, at least to some degree, and it is my impression that more could have been done here. But FWIW, the green colour of the water is a big plus in my book, as it builds a nice colour palette together with the green-ish sculpture and the lawn and hedges in the background. --El Grafo (talk) 06:47, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
