 * Support - that's a lovely image, and even the imperfections are useful, because the (rare) chips, cracks and lines between the tiles show what it was constructed of. Adam Cuerden talk 00:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Support Nice, looks like it suffers from over zealous NR, but the texture loss might be just the style of the artwork I really don't know --Fir0002 02:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Info - No NR, my new camera has very low noise, wow! Only some geometric and contrast corrections. - Alvesgaspar 09:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, though it looks like it might be 3D in places, it's actually all 2D? Adam Cuerden talk 15:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a technique called "trompe l'oeil" (French for "fool the eye") - Alvesgaspar 16:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't it appear there, too, then?--HereToHelp 14:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Can we double-check copyright status? Since this is a fairly recent work (less than 100 yrs old) and I believe it's subject to Portuguese copyright laws, we should be absolutely sure before proceeding. SingCal 20:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Info - The author died in 1942 and the copyright period in Portugal is 70 years. However, there is in the Portuguese law the right of reprodution of artistisc works when they are exposed in public spaces (right of "panorama"). That is exactly the case of this one, which is in the outside wall of a building, in a public park. - Alvesgaspar 08:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Thanks for the info. Support SingCal 08:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Superb picture, great illustration of its subject as well as being v attractive ~ Veledan • Talk 23:24, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Good rendition of a superb piece with top enc value for azulejo. Detail is good enough, but did you shoot this as a compressed JPEG? It seems just a tiny bit blocky. mikaultalk 13:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Info - Yes, it is a jpeg shot. I'm not yet confortable with the raw mode of this camera. - Alvesgaspar 13:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Per all above.Bewareofdog 20:46, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Per my opinion. Tomer T 12:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
