  • Support as nominator --Ashstar01 (talk) 05:16, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm not seeing the EV. This image is just tacked onto the end of the article/into a gallery. Why not show the whole building? J Milburn (talk) 21:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support I like the detail but I agree with Milburn that the EV is less than ideal. If there was a section in the article that discussed the entrance in detail then this would have better EV. Pinetalk 07:23, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While there's something to be said for the dynamic composition and additional detail permitted by zooming in, FPC generally favors more stable and balanced shots of architecture, or at least such that does not cut off parts of the building. See [examples]. HereToHelp (talk to me) 22:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't think the definition for FPCs should be so rigid as to dictate what framing and detail level the composition has - there are certainly examples in the Architecture FPCs that similar to the nomination explicity crop into a structure to enhance certain aspects of it - enabling the viewer to understand the architect/artists creation. In this composition of the Dome of the Rock - the architectural facade and column decoration can be seen at a greater fidelity than they might will a full shot of the building. These FPC examples come to mind with similar purposeful compositions: [[1]]
