 * Support as nominator --Thanks, Hadseys 23:16, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What is underneath that thing? isn't it possible to take a picture right from below? Abisharan (talk) 12:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose I realize it was an attempt to limit the scope of the image to the center design but the cropping of the border throws the image off in my opinion since you can only see the outside design past the circular border on the sides and it is clipped off right at the edge of the circular design on the top and the bottom.

 * but this nomination is about the painting not the dome --Thanks, Hadseys 22:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine when judging encyclopedic value but the framing of the shot is relevant to the quality of the image and that's what's being nominated. Cat-five - talk 15:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not the most compelling composition - and I believe a better angle is possible. This was definitely not taken directly below.  Jujutacular  T · C 19:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose For a 4,664 square foot painting, I would expect a SIGNIFICANTLY higher resolution image to be needed to be a FP of the subject. Multiple image mosaic of many megapixels probably to do it any justice. — raeky ( talk 18:38, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
