- Support. It is a very clear picture with a great deal of useful information in it. I have corrected the caption here and at the original location. A "facade" is something that is set up like a person's face i.e. it has the outward distinguishing characteristics of the building. Neither of these buildings have proper facades.

- Comment. The composition is not great in terms of featuring the intended subject, or even making clear what the intended subject is (which I'm assuming is the small building in the foreground, not the large gold-domed building). To illustrate the foreground structure I would much prefer an angle such as this. There also seems to be a whole significant feature that is not even visible from the angle in this candidate picture, being edge on. 86.171.42.64 (talk) 12:50, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- While the angle of the image you suggest may be slightly better (for illustrating the object of the article), it is less visually compelling (not to mention mid-restoration as none of the outer tile-work is visible). Thanks-Godot13 (talk) 15:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- The picture I linked to was purely to illustrate how a better angle or viewpoint could give a better illustration of the subject. As you say, the tiles are missing, but that isn't relevant to the point I was trying to make. 86.171.42.64 (talk) 17:03, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

- Question Would withdrawing and renominating this image as part of a set of two or three where the others focus on 1) the interior of the Dome of the Chain and 2) the tile work be an option?-Godot13 (talk) 04:06, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
