Original – The Imām 'Alī Holy Shrine, also known as Masjid Ali or the Mosque of 'Alī, located in Najaf, Iraq, is the third holiest site for some of the estimated 200 million followers of the Shia branch of Islam. 'Alī ibn Abī Tālib, the cousin of Muhammad, the first Imam (Shia belief) is buried here, and the fourth caliph. According to Shi'a belief[1] buried next to Ali within this mosque are the remains of Adam and Noah. Each year millions of pilgrims visit the Shrine and pay tribute to Imam Ali.

  • Comment – Detail isn't great, and there appears to be some perspective distortion in the minarets. (Based on the target article, the interior appears to be more visually interesting – in my inexpert opinion).

If you subtilize you can see that in the other sides of the picture(left, right and buttom) the details is good. I think the photographer has tried to take a homolographic picture but the top of the picture seems a little asymmetric and maybe it's because of the asymmetry of the minarates themselves and not a mistake by the photographer.Mbazri (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
