Oppose – Good composition and nom, but it's rather a very peculiar angle for an FP. It doesn't illustrate the subject well and the details aren't clear. (See File:Portal, Pitam Niwas Chowk, City Palace, Jaipur, 20191218 1000 9059.jpg for reference). Any alternate view for the gate present? The Herald (Benison) (talk) 07:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The picture is to show the bottom view of the iwan of the mosque and to show the muqarnas in full view instead of a partial view from a front view. While a front view could be better to show the iwan, it is a common type of photographs that I have seen to fully show the composition of the muqarnas. (Most of which is at an angle or at a bottom view) Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 23:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I respectfully disagree with The Herald; I think the details are quite clear at full resolution, and I think the angle is justifiable in showing recessed aspects of the work not visible from the front. Moonreach (talk) 14:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support according to Moonreach's reasoning. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support but mostly for its value illustrating Persian blue. In the article on the mosque, it is used in a gallery; the muqarnas is not discussed beyond "here, look at the muqarnas". That being said, a crop of this (uploaded separately) could be used to replace File:Sally Port of Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque.JPG in articles where it is used. It's the same muqarnas, and Diego's capture is more evenly lit and comprehensive. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
