•  Info Crepuscular ray of light in the north dome room of the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. The mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the oldest still standing buildings in Iran and it has been continuously changed its architecture since it was erected in 771 until the 20th century.

•  Support Shame there wasn't someone from the mosque standing to be lit by the ray of light. -- Colin (talk) 12:56, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

  Colin: Believe me, this one brought to me to the border of my patience. I was there almost one hour waiting for a free-of-tourits-shot. Poco² 15:11, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

  Poco, why did you wait an hour and not employ the multiple shots and averaging the tourists out later approach, or even manually masking them out? Were they standing at the same place the whole time? – Lucas^T 16:41, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

  Lucas: It was pure waiting time with my camera on the same spot, not processing or editing time. Generally a group came and people were standing for 15-20 minutes, and then another group came. I now what you talk about, but I am not sure whether that would have worked, because there was a very popular spot (the entrance where there was always people). I didn't think about taking multiples shot to sort people out because I was hoping again and again that in a few minutes it would be clear. Poco² 16:48, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - Classic. With very little change, I can imagine this as a 19th-century photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

• The Photographer, gracias por expresar su opinión en español. -- Colin (talk) 12:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Nice to see your spanish well written!. Sometime i leet spanish message to Poco because I know that his mother language is spanish, however, it could result impolite for the non spanish. --The Photographer 00:26, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

The Photographer, you can thank Google for that, as I don't speak a word. I refer to the recent conversation on Talk FPC. Why is it impolite for you to use your native language? One of us has to translate, and why should it be you? -- Colin (talk) 08:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

In my experience google translator work better translating from some languate to english and not the opposite. Also, communication process could be easier using English only. I love my mother language because there are several words that otherwise i could not explain, however, I think that maybe English should be used because it's the universal language in Wikimedia commons (It's not like Wikipedia where the local language is used). In addition, people from English-speaking countries rarely learn/translate other languages (The same apply to french). Maybe using both languages could work, however, it would create visual noise --The Photographer 12:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
