Qutb Ruins
Voting period ends on 5 Apr 2013 at 20:11:41 (UTC)
 * Reason:An appropriate image for the article as it shows the famous Qutb Minar (which gives the complex its name) as well as part of the surrounding ruins. The bird making a landing on the ruin is a minor bonus, which IMO adds to the historic feeling. Good quality and EV.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Qutb complex
 * Creator:Muhammad Mahdi Karim

 * Weak oppose The view is quite tight and one of the walls is leaning, being probably distorted. Brandmeistertalk  14:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose I agree with Brandmeister in regard to the framing... I personally would rather have this picture taken further forward, so more of the tower and immediate ruins are shown, and less of the over-imposing walls - have them as more of a frame than a focus, if that makes sense? As an aside I also don't understand the comment about the bird providing "historic feeling" - how does a random bird being caught in shot do that? Unless it's a historic or ancient bird, and this tower is famous for attracting birds I don't see how it makes a blind bit of difference whether there's a bird in shot or not - not worthy of a reason for nomination anyway... gaz hiley  14:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
