 * Comment. Added Alt 1 with reduced noise levels. O.J. (talk) 03:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Sorry, I withheld from voting last time, but I guess if it's coming back I may as well comment. I do quite like the composition, but I find this all a bit murky to be honest; I understand that this in difficult lighting conditions and better lighting may be very difficult, but it honestly doesn't quite do it for me. Some of the other images linked on the image page, while possibly done using on-camera flash, show that better lighting may be possible, and would also bring up truer colours. Couple that with the limited extent of the image - we can't see the whole tombs, only the top third or so, Catherine is well and truly out of focus, and even the lower shoulders and 'bed' of poor old Henry are gone, and it doesn't quite make it for me. --jjron (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose also... There's a lot of chromatic aberration (I believe that's the term!) going on throughout the image, such that at 100% much of the image is red and green. I guess this is a result of the high ISO used but is still not ideal. Additionally, I'd prefer an angle something like this to show all of both of the tombs.

 * The other angle is boring. Tomer T (talk) 20:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps seen as boring, but of far greater encyclopedic value, in my opinion.  Nik the  stoned  09:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Support alt 1 I love the angel it adds to the photo. The tomb from above would be boring --Guerillero &#124; My Talk  22:28, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Would like to see the whole sculpture, not just the bust with the rest cut off. Clegs (talk) 11:38, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Both the angle and the crop make the subject a bit difficult to take in. —Eustress talk 18:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
