- Support - But don't expect your readers to read your mind, or have such brilliant knowledge of Geography that they know where Ash Sharqiyah is. No-one ought to have to do a Wikipedia search in order to find out where on the globe this place is located. I have added the words "Muscat, Oman" here, and twice on the picture's Commons page.
- There may be some unwarranted criticism of the haze, so I am getting in first and mentioning the fact that the dust of the dessert hangs in the air, and is particularly visible where there is also some water vapour, as here. Amandajm (talk) 02:16, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support Very sharp for such a large image. Some sort of gigantic stitch, I presume? Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Support - Definitely. File:Sambisari Panorama (29 December 2013).jpg is of a similar resolution (well, kinda) and that was 7 or 8 images stitched together. Not sure what camera Richard uses, but certainly fits the size expectations for a modern DSLR camera shooting vertical, with 7 - 9 images stitched together. That being said, this is quite crisp, crisper than my Sambisari image, and a good illustration of the subject here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:11, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
