  •  Oppose - Nice and clear, but the composition lets it down. Photo will also be more valuable if the pedestal and inscription was included in the photo. --NJR_ZA (talk) 19:50, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment {removed file link, up for deletion} I gave it a rotate and crop. Opinions as to whether this image can be improved in similar ways? Feel free to use the page I uploaded for changes.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:45, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I think if any adjustment should be made, it is to straighten the verticals with a perspective correction (not a mere rotation) from the original photo. The rotation above is actually makes the problem worse, and the long edge of the platform mustn't be made horizontal as it is at a considerable angle to the viewer. I agree the crop isn't ideal. Either take from higher up to get the horse's feet, or include the base. Colin (talk) 12:13, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Yes, that made it worse. Like Colin said, when rotating, always look at vertical lines, not the horizontal ones. But as this was made at 82&nbps;mm (18.1 times 4.55, correct me if I'm wrong), it should be possible to walk a little further away and get a better angle. --Julian H. (talk/files) 10:18, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
