Original – The eternal flame at the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia, on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day 2014. Constructed on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, thousands of Armenians gather at the memorial to commemorate the victims of the genocide on April 24 of every year. They lay fresh flowers out of respect for those who died in the genocide. There have been many notable visitors in the past including George Cloony, Hillary Clinton, Kanye West, Paulo Coelho, Conan O'Brien, John Paul II, Gerard Depardieu, and Vladimir Putin.
Reason
The Eternal Flame at the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan is a sight not too many people know about. However, there have been many notable visitors in the past, including George Cloony, Hillary Clinton, Kanye West, Paulo Coelho, Conan O'Brien, John Paul II, Gerard Depardieu, and Vladimir Putin, just to name a few (see: List of visitors to Tsitsernakaberd). So there's good EV. Quality of the photograph is great.

  • Comment – is it me or are the the shadow areas really noisy! Bammesk (talk) 14:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – good EV, but looking at it carefully, the shadows are very noisy. Bammesk (talk) 15:52, 4 December 2016 (UTC) Bammesk (talk) 03:00, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – The noise could be due to the structure which is not smooth. --Marvellous Spider-Man 05:26, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, the noise just looks like digital noise to me, shouldn't be that much at ISO 100 with a 60D. Shadows maybe boosted in post. -- Acefitt 08:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose The composition of this photo is sub-standard - what it shows is unclear, with the crop/frame being too tight and the shadow and crowd resulting in lots of clutter. As a result, it isn't a particularly successful photo of the memorial flame, or the events which occur during the memorial day. Nick-D (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
