- Which it seems to have replaced two days ago, so I think this isn't eligible for FP? In any case, the two images show quite different views of the temple, so there should be room for both in the article. TSP (talk) 10:32, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Worth being aware that, as far as I can see, this isn't the main building (phra ubosot) of the temple - it's the later royal pantheon alongside it. (The black roof on the left of the shot is the ubosot, which houses the Emerald Buddha.) TSP (talk) 11:06, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Searching on google images, this view is really the most emblematic of the whole complex. See for example Wat Phra Kaew in the Lonely planet -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. The symmetrical composition and grayed-out contrast range don't do it for me. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, David, for your review. The sky is maybe not perfect but I think the light this morning was not too bad. Concerning the composition, it is based on the symmetrical architecture (like the Taj Mahal for example). -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Forgot to mention that in the introduction. Wat Phra Kaew is said to be "the most sacred temple in Thailand" (source Wikivoyage) and "today Bangkok’s biggest tourist attraction" (source Lonely Planet). The place is usually overcrowded, and was also that day. Several shots taken with a tripod and an ultra wide angle lens were necessary to delete some visitors, to highlight the buildings. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
