Original - The Tartini Square is the largest and main square in the coastal town of Piran, Slovenia. It was named after the famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini (born in the town), whose statue was placed here in 1896.

Reason

Exciting aerial view of the central part of this picturesque Adriatic town. The image gives the entire idea of shape and proportions of the square as well as the connection with the bay.

• Weak support Complements the other articles well, and does show the connection with the bay. But the resolution is not stellar, and there's no reason why exactly the same photo couldn't be taken with a better camera or as a panorama. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

• Well, it is clearly stated in the criteria: still images should be a minimum of 1000 pixels in width or height; so it completely meets the criteria ;) --MrPanyGoff (talk) 20:32, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Yea, but you changed the emphasis in your quote - it's a minimum. And I'm still supporting this photo, I just think it could be better! :) Aaadddaaammm (talk) 21:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

• Support despite the limited resolution, as the subject is clearly depicted. I suspect is not an "aerial view" as in the nomination description, but from the top of a hill? Also added to Boris Podrecca, the designer of the square's current layout. --Elekhh (talk) 22:52, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
