 * Comment - Here we really have blown highlights... 255 all the way on the chorten (is that the name?) mid-left. --Janke | Talk 20:27, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * will be better able to address this, and fix it if it needs to be. UnpetitproleX (talk) 21:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ I have reworked from RAW to avoid blown highlights in the chorten.  Please see the new version. --Tagooty (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Thanks for the nomination, . The image has good EV, showing the cave monastery on the cliff above the Tsarap river, the steep barren terrain, and the small village on the far bank. --Tagooty (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment – Tagooty, the previous version was much sharper! Neutral on voting. I prefer the infobox image. Bammesk (talk) 14:25, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the observation. The Sony A7C must apply sharpening when it creates a JPG.  I've now sharpened the RAW to be similar to the JPG. Between the two images ... let's hear other views.  --Tagooty (talk) 16:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Much better, thanks. Bammesk (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I don’t think the two images are comparable, they’re quite different. I plan on nominating the infobox image as well, to be featured in the architecture gallery since the focus is the monastery. Nominated this image precisely for the wider view of the valley where the monastery is only a small part of the image as a whole, and therefore in the landscapes gallery.

 * The idea is that the etymology of the monastery speaks to the mythical status of the cave in the cliff, which becomes apparent from the wider view. But as a representative image (i.e. for infobox) the close-up is better. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I am not opposed to the nom image becoming FP. It meets all the requirements. I am just neutral. Bammesk (talk) 01:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
