  • Weak support. Good shot, would full support if there was an article on this actual building. Having said which, isn't Luxembourg Palace this place, and if so why isn't this pic in that article? BTW, being featured on Commons or elsewhere is irrelevant. --jjron (talk) 12:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose - it's a nice photo, but the composition is awkward. It looks like there is some event (lots of people sitting on chairs facing *something*), yet we can't see what it is. Unclear subject - is it a photo of the chateau, of the people, or of the gardens? Not a fantastic angle for any of those. Stevage 10:01, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • People are sunbathing and facing the sun. I believe that add some context around the palais. That park is full of people enjoying sun, and I think it's representative of parisian lifestyle, hence some encyclopaedic value... that's just my opinion though.

  • Oppose Angle isn't that great, issues with tilt, and quite soft (some people look painted). SpencerT♦C 03:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't because of tilt, but because of perspective. I guess you simply meant you didn't like the view. But there's no tilt. Blieusong (talk) 16:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The view would preferably be head-on, reducing distortion. SpencerT♦C 19:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Please oppose for valid reasons... the picture is not tilted as far as I know (or point me where you see the tilt). It's certainly not soft as well... Keep in mind this is a 10mpix picture, not downsampled, which shows certainly much more details than many of the 1600x1000 pictures featured here.
