Support A little bit of noise, but I don't mind... fountain looks good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Taken in the daylight, this picture would carry a lot more info, especially of the surrounding architecture that may compliment the stone work on the fountain. It's just about ok focus wise, so I'll weak support, but I really am not keen on this picture enough to full support... gazhiley 09:07, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point and definitely lots of great architecture around, on the other hand in a night picture the illuminated carvings and silky water stand out. The south side’s Bernini fountain was built later, so perhaps it is not as notable or original. For comparison we have this image of it. Bammesk (talk) 01:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
