Too phallic? Yes, it distracts a bit... ;-) --Janke | Talk 06:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

• Support. Pleasing. --Deryck C. 08:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support. The angle is somewhat distracting, and the caption is meager. But the photo quality is good, the garden is interesting, and it seems to be the best (if not only) shot of that type of garden, so it's encyclopedic value is high. bcasterline t 18:04, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I checked on commons too. This is the best formal garden pic. There are 3-4 of this same garden and are not near this quality. -Ravedave 21:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak oppose. Distracting composition (plant in the foreground, the corner of the nearest square cur, angle,...--Wikimol 21:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose distracting in front, and that geometrical shapes are cut off. -M^ask 23:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak oppose I was going ot say support based on just the thumbnail but at full size there is just something about the composition that I don't like, the forground plant does not actually bother me but I think the fountian coudl be centered better. Dalf | Talk 05:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose Compositional problems (foreground plant, camera angle). I'd certainly be glad to see other nominations under the heading of geometric gardens.. --Philopedia 14:32, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support Eye candy as far as im concerned - • The Giant Puffin • 16:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. Slope and angle are problematic. Part of the beauty of these gardens is their symmetry. The shot should be similarly symmetric, IMO. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
