Weak oppose because the base of the building seems to continue beyond the left side of the image. I'd like to see the full base. Pine^talk 21:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there is nothing there but one pillar base as shown in this [[1]]. The shadows are from objects such as large bolders outside the site area. Saffron Blaze (talk) 07:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I like this one better. Tomer T (talk) 23:17, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's mine too. The photographer in me likes it but the encyclopedian in me thinks it is a bit contrived as it took considerable post processing to get that result. Saffron Blaze (talk) 13:34, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice image. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:31, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I had been considering nominating your sunrise version, but this one is sharper and the person gives it scale, which I actually found helpful. I've viewed other images of this site to convince myself that there really isn't much more of relevance outside the frame here. (By the way, if the sunrise image required a lot of post-processing, it would be helpful to say on the image page what modifications were made, with the retouch template on Commons: {{Retouched picture}}).
