• Oppose – Good nom, but that scaffolding and the crowd is distracting. Furthermore, I'm surprised we never had a Christ the Redeemer nomination. Maybe there are other alts with no such distractions. — Benison (Beni · talk) 18:54, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Looking through c:Category:Aerial photographs of Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro, there doesn't seem to be any FP-quality pics without a crowd (closest you'll get is this image). Crowd notwithstanding, I think the best bet for a Christ the Redeemer FP would be c:File:Christ the Redeemer-(Corcovado) front view.jpg (but this is one is not used in any articles). – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 22:12, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh right! ArionStar (talk) 00:45, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Frankly, if you don't care enough about the nomination to fix basic things like credit, it's a little hard to support. These are things that really should be gotten right at time of nomination, if they're still wrong 8 days in, the nomination is kind of dead. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 20:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Adam Cuerden: my nominations seem to experience some kind of boycott against me and certainly the credits are not the problem; just look at the other images nominated by me to conclude my point. ArionStar (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Source is not clear but possibly here. Better versions exist on the web. Problem of light and contrast in this derivative file. According to the history of the file page, this retouched version is not the author's (Fred Palumbo) choice. Bad quality scan at the beginning? Only 2,170 × 2,744 pixels, and blurry image at full size. Wrong crop at the right with elbow cut out. Intrusive part at the lower right corner. Lead room missing with tight crop at the left. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That really needs to be fixed and figured out before it can be promoted. Attribution issues are a death knell to an FPC. Would suggest withdrawing and coming back once it is fixed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 00:51, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
