Hi everyone, long time no see. Saw this while going through DYK: its a nice, solid image of a notable structure, used well in two articles, and of good resolution. Also, FP on Commons

  • Weak Support I am not keen on the sky in this - seems blown, especially around the high centre point of the structure... Would prefer this shot on a nice clear day... Other than that it's a nice sharp interesting picture... gazhiley 09:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I agree about the sky, and it's a little dark in the middle, but given the difficulties of accessing archeological sites in Syria these days I think the value of this overcomes those concerns. I'm glad that our Palymra article is so well illustrated. Chick Bowen 22:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Beautiful, highly valuable. The nearly-blown out sky seems to work for me in this context; at the very least it doesn't detract from its value. Jujutacular (talk) 02:08, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not 100% in love with the sky despite some people saying that it works but the subject isn't the sky and it's a great photograph of the subject. Cat-fivetc ---- 21:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
