Oppose This composition doesn't work for me, crop too tight at the right side, and the light is not very good -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)- Oppose +1 --Peulle (talk) 12:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition, per Basile. Hard to tell whether the church or the statue is meant to be the subject. Daniel Case (talk) 03:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Comment @Daniel Case: While the 'focus' of the camera is on the sculpture the composition intentionally begs the question you ask - however I accept that 'symbolism' is not necessarily a factor in FP and that even where the contrast of Mary's 'child' dying in his Mother's arms with the ideals of the Piarist Church which arose to look after and educate children, especially the poor and disadvantaged, is understood, it is not necessarily well represented in this image (although it does seem to have provoked some questions, albeit more technical than philosophical!:) --SM1 (talk) 09:57, 22 January 2021 (UTC) PS. In spite of our many recent technological advances 'child poverty' appears to be on the rise across Europe and around the world! --SM1 (talk) 10:02, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
