Original – Jamkaran mosque, one of shia Islam's holiest places, in Jamkaran, near Qum, Iran
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.

  • 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) reply
    • 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) reply
      • 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) reply
      • 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. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC) reply
  • 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) reply
  • 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) reply
