  • Comment It's awfully cloudy in the photograph -- only thing holding me back from supporting it. chsh (talk) 20141204060746
  • Support - what's with the clouds? Clouds are fine. Is there any rule that say only pics on sunny days may be featured? Hafspajen (talk) 15:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - A fine image, well shot and framed. Clouds don't bother me either. Jusdafax 20:50, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great quality, well lit, and interesting how they are closely gathered given the large amount of space available around them. FWIW the cloud issue is more because traditionally there are light issues (often resulting in reduced level of detail) when so much cloud cover is there - this doesn't seem to be as much of an issue on this picture though. There is no rule, it's just usual for a picture to fail due to the effects of the cloud, but not neccessarily because of the cloud itself, if that makes sense? gazhiley 12:32, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - It makes sense, yes, explained like that ... Hafspajen (talk) 20:15, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The current lighting (with or as a result of the clouds) adds feeling/depth to the image (IMO)...--Godot13 (talk) 02:31, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Moros has a population of 478- one person per house? Can't see any TV aerials or satellite dishes. The church looks like a fortress. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 23:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be amazed if they even had electricity! Some of the houses look fragile enough that one swing of a hammer to knock a nail in holding a satalite wire, and the whole house would come down... gazhiley 12:08, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Because the houses are almost the same color as the soil, they appear to have grown up out of the ground. Seems like an ancient village in a somewhat isolated, wild place. CorinneSD (talk) 21:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Coment - Actually - this is what in the architecture called the ideal placement of a site - the mountain in the back, the water in the front, the mountains surround it as protection. Many great cities are placed like this. Hafspajen (talk) 03:06, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support great photograph! I don't often see photographs of cities being nominated for featured picture, and since this is high quality and captures what appears to be all of it, I'm happy to support. Mattximus (talk) 04:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, stunning. I've dropped a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spain to ask if anyone can look into expanding the article a little. Anyone here read any Spanish?! J Milburn (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
