  • Support as nominator --Jujutacular talk 00:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Support'. Usage seems good. Nice layout and superior connection to text as to the Tblisi shot.TCO (reviews needed) 02:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose. A girl can change her mind. I just can't see enough detail of the standing structures. foreground issue or aspect ration or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talkcontribs)
      • I respectfully disagree. Sorry, I should have responded to your concern earlier. My opinion is, the structures do seem detailed enough to warrant a closer image for maximum EV. This view gives an overall view of the area, while its high resolution gives the amount of detail that is necessary. Jujutacular talk 04:20, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Was going to nominate it myself at some point. JJ Harrison (talk) 07:31, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but do we need so much foreground? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • In my opinion, yes. Cropping the foreground would lead to a very undesirable composition in my opinion: it would be extremely wide in comparison to its height, and the horizon would no longer follow the rule of thirds. Jujutacular talk 12:02, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great resolution, very pleasing composition, and to answer Adam, I believe that the foreground is part of the ruins; they certainly appear to be old bricks, as opposed to just random stones. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 06:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I supported, but it is a bit hard to see any detail of the buildings, standing part of the ruins. Wonder if closer shots would have been better. Even if the rubble filled meadow is part of the ruins technically, it is not intersting and we can't get much out of it (maybe an overhead shot would though).TCO (reviews needed) 15:59, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
