 * Comment This is a useful image in two FAs, but something seems odd about the lighting.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too dark. It's hard to tell at a glance where statue end and tree to our left begins... Gazhiley (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: It would be incredibly useful if we could talk about the copyright status of the statue itself on the image page; especially as there is no freedom of panorama for statues in the United States. J Milburn (talk) 14:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Statue was erected in 1918 -> public domain.  Jujutacular  T · C 14:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, I missed "on the image page". I've added this information.  Jujutacular  T · C 15:09, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too dark. Since the subject is the statue, the shot is too far away and too busy. The composition is a generic, square-on one that comes up short of having potential for being among Wikipedia’s best works. Greg L (talk) 23:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Gazhiley; also dubious EV for any of the cited articles. Spikebrennan (talk) 19:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose The color balance seems too warm, and the composition is fairly ordinary. I wouldn't say the EV is dubious, just not outstanding. Fletcher (talk) 02:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Withdrawn. I'll be taking criticism into account and possibly re-shooting another time. Don't want to waste any more of peoples' time however.  Jujutacular  T · C 18:57, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
