I would like to nominate this photo as a featured picture. The Venus de Milo is one of the most famous and beautiful sculptures in the world, and this image shows it off to its best. Few featured pictures are actual works of art, and this picture is an excellent showcase for the work itself, the Louvre museum and the medium of sculpture as a whole.

The Venus de Milo must be one of the greatest examples of classical sculpture in the world, and is surely a fantastic example of Wikipedia's articles and portal on the Arts.

  • Oppose. It's only 183 px wide, faaaaar too low for a FP. --Janke | Talk 19:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. While certainly a great piece of art, there are thousands of far more unique and interesting photos that should be featured instead of one that can be found in any high school European history textbook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.182.51.67 (talk • contribs)
  • Oppose Too low res. --Fir0002 www 23:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Opppose. Resolution is much too low. Also, as per 65.182.51.67, I don't feel that the image is unique or stunning enough. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 23:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, has people in background which is distracting. - Mgm|(talk) 11:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
