 * Support as nominator – — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:44, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Very encyclopedic. Alborzagros (talk) 05:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - And a very funny saint to go with too...the crazy-wise mystic St Basil... Who used to walk around naked, break in to wealthy peoples shops and steal food and give it the poor, who was quarreling with Ivan the Terrible (who build this cathedral), for being bloody cruel (and so he was). Not exactly a life insurance those times. The tsar would probably kill any other man criticizing him, but he left Basil alone; because he was seen as an extremely holy man.

 * Oppose – Rather glare-ish. Detail lost to dazzling nighttime lighting. Sca (talk) 17:15, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment -Some say the colour scheme of the cathedral is best seen by night.Hafspajen (talk) 20:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose I compared this side by side with the daylight picture at the top of the article and to be honest the colours are a lot better in the day pic... Maybe it's better at night when actually visiting it, but in this picture the colours seem pale and washed... gaz hiley  23:03, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - aw, I don't know, it does glow somehow ... and there are more Onion domes visible in the night pic. Hafspajen (talk) 13:44, 25 February 2015 (UTC)Moscow July 2011-4a.jpg (talk) 13:44, 25 February 2015 (UTC)]]


 * Support - The colors are bright because they are lighted with bright lights, but I don't think they are distorted by the lights. Also, supporting this image does not mean negating all the images of the cathedral taken during the daytime. It's just a different image, so it's a good one to have. - CorinneSD (talk) 18:38, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not the brightness of the colors, it's the loss of detail and texture due to, in effect, overexposure. Sca (talk) 21:59, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Support It's a nice night shot. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:53, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
