Comment Sky looks a little overexposed on the viewer's left hand side. Is that fixable? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:20, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It may be fixable, but I don't have the skills for that... I tried uploading a slightly tweaked version, but I'm not sure it's any better. The sun was just out of frame and because of the layout of the Temple Mount, this is the only position to get two sides of the mosque. I would have happily waited for the right lighting, however the site is only open to the public from 8am to 10am.-Godot13 (talk) 23:57, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The shadows are a bit harsh, but not as bad at full size as I would have expected from the thumbnail, and there is no noise in them either. Impressive photograph all around. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I actually don't mind the overexposed sky. And if this is the only position to take the photograph of 2 sides, it's really a top notch encyclopaedic photograph. Mattximus (talk) 04:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
