Oppose The contrast is too high ie too many "bright bits" (which I think is the same as Mikeo is saying) - Adrian Pingstone 17:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Looks a worthy topic to have a FP, but a hard one to capture really well. Sorry, I don't think this pic quite does it justice. --jjron 17:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Blown-out highlights, and also I think there must surely be a better location to take the pic from; I'm not too fond of the composition. Good effort and subject, though. Redquark 19:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Great subject marred by photographic difficulties. It looks like the temple might benefit greatly from high dynamic range imaging. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
