•  Info created & uploaded by User:Poco a poco - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Info Alley of the Bazaar in Arg-e Bam, or, Bam Citadel, the largest adobe building in the world and an UNESCO world heritage site, located in Bam, Kerman Province, southeastern Iran. The origin of this enormous citadel on the Silk Road can be traced back to the Achaemenid Empire (6th-4th centuries BC) and even beyond. The citadel was destroyed by the devastating 2003 Bam earthquake that cost over 26,000 lives and is being reconstructed since then. Poco² 06:59, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - I love the long lines and streamlined look of this photo, and the harmonious architecture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - Great work. Bam is a mystical kind of place, the silence, the seclusion the calmness all combine to provide a truly unique character to this picture. --Gnosis (talk) 05:16, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. Lighting is not fantastic, but nice balanced composition leading the viewer towards the center. Maybe it could use a little less sky. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:53, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  SupportThis photo is beautiful and symmetrical.--Behzad39 (talk) 06:10, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Beautiful and nice! --کامران آزاد (talk) 12:21, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Love the simplicity. The white mast bothers me a little bit. However, sites are as they are... --AWeith (talk) 16:59, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
•  Tempered support I love the forms and the light, but I am ambivalent about the sky above (i.e., whether to suggest a crop). On the one hand it's a whole lot of empty space. On the other, the blue in the section that the me that wrote that previous sentence would like to crop out is a nice cool color that perfectly balances the warmth below.
