Question how recent is this picture? Is it possible to get a picture with whatever work the scafolding is/was for complete? For something as temporary as scaffolding it would be a shame if we couldn't get a photo with the work finished ie with the scaffolding gone... If however that scaffolding has been there for a long time, and probably will be there a lot longer, then I would consider a support. gazhiley 15:56, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This was taken about a month ago but I have seen a few old photos with the similar construction supports. File:Jama Masjid-Delhi-India4282.JPG taken in 2009 had them. --Muhammad(talk) 16:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - In which case then I Support as this is a good representation of the building then, and as far as I can see meets all criteria and is sharp etc. Thank you for checking up on my question. gazhiley 16:55, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. When the scaffolding is removed it would be good to get an updated photo. Pine^✉ 19:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is pretty minor, but there is a stitching error maybe 50 pixels from the left and 1/5th of the way up from the bottom on the roof of the walkway thing. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:12, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a fan of the off-centre angle of the framing and midday lighting is very flat and uninspired - IMO there is really nothing about the shot to make it exceptional. File:Jama Maszid.jpg by contrast is a far more compelling shot (although sadly it is let down by poor image quality). --Fir0002 03:43, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually this was taken quite early, around 8 or 9 in the morning. --Muhammad(talk) 15:39, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The shadows of the people would appear to be rather short...? --Fir0002 23:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's surprising. According to my estimation, this was around 7:30 in the morning. I remember seeing people brushing their teeth in the ablution part of the mosque and pigeons being fed (done in the morning). --Muhammad(talk) 11:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think the photo does a good job of portraying the subject and I don't think it has any major defects Azylber (talk) 07:07, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
