•  Info Zedazeni Monastery, originally built in the 6th century, is a good example of early Christian architecture of Georgia. The picture has a good composition and focus on the two-story basilica style of architecture. Created by Sosomk - uploaded by Sosomk - nominated by Sosomk --Sosomk 11:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 InfoI propose an edit; it was very easy to remove the stain and the aircraft contrail.Vassil 14:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose - I'm sorry, but I don't like the composition which seems too symmetrical and a little boring. Also, there is a slight (and disturbing) ccw tilt, which has nothing to do with the slope of the terrain. Finally, I agree with Simonizer on the overexposure. Alvesgaspar 22:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Dear Vassil, thanks a lot, I was not sure if we could use photoshop. As for the exposure, I think it is more of a difference in taste of art rather than anything else. I think it is good and so does User:Vassil, who I think has a good taste of art judging from the pictures he uploaded on Commons (Louvre, Cathédrale Notre Dame de Reims, Medieval festival, etc.) Sosomk 06:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Thank you very much, Sosomk.I agree that this picture isn't spectacular at first sight, but I like it because it's sharp and representative, and the lamb fits in well with this rustic architecture.About the exposure, I've tried "automatic contrast" and "automatic levels" in Photoshop and nothing moved, so I've let the original exposure.(I know that "automatic levels" isn't unfailing, but it's an indication in normal light conditions.) I don't know about the tilt; the building and especially the roof are asymmetrical. Vassil 08:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

The architecture is called Basilica style, which is ancient and early medieval church architecture of Georgia. Also, the monastery is surrounded with the gate. Sosomk 19:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose still overexposed and that has nothing to do with art, because i can see no intention that the author wanted to make some kind of High Key picture --Simonizer 08:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I find the picture great because of the contrast of the lamb (the symbol of Christianity) and the Church, and that's what the author has done to make it professional. Sosomk 19:52, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree, thats a good idea, but a good idea is often not enough --Simonizer 07:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
