Jamkaran Mosque
Voting period ends on 22 Jan 2014  at 11:58:00 (UTC)
 * Reason:Good quality and EV of a country where we get few pictures from. People add a good sense of scale. On a side note, the pictures of the supreme leaders Khomeini and Khamenei give a sense of how closely linked religion and politics are in that area.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Jamkaran, Holiest sites in Shia Islam, Qom Province
 * Creator:Muhammad Mahdi Karim


 * Support as nominator --Muhammad (talk) 11:58, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - Sorry Muhammad, but for a mosque of this size I don't think I can get behind a 1,500 pixel tall image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:00, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I dont understand why we have requirements when we aren't going to abide by them. FWIW though, I don't have a higher resolution --Muhammad (talk) 12:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The requirements are a bare minimum, but there are other considerations as well. A 1500 pixel film poster is unlikely to pass; most which have passed have been north of 2000 on the smallest side. Such a large piece of architecture (this gives 250,000 square meters, and this gives 250 hectares) cannot be shown in adequate detail at 1,500 pixels tall. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:13, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Why is it you don't have a higher resolution image Muhammad? It looks downsampled... Pretty sharp at 100%, too sharp for a bayer sensor at native res. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  08:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - image seems slightly off center and/or tilted. I'm also noticing some red chromatic aberration on the women at far left. It's a nice image overall, but I think we can have better. Chris857 (talk) 03:20, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Crisco 1492/Chris857. Also the sky has been "recovered" too far resulting in colour shift. -- Colin°Talk 18:52, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
