• Weak Support I think its underexposed, but an edit could probably fix it. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose, disregarding our personal feelings about this building (I'm looking at you, Ser Amantio), this is not a stunning photograph because: the resolution is not stellar, the lighting is dull, and the composition is too cramped at the bottom. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose Good photo, it captures those golden domes beautifully, but I think it falls short of the FP bar. I think it's a little bit dark overall and that there's a loss of information/detail in the dark shadowy areas. TehGrauniad (talk) 15:47, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
