Info View of Khor Virap, an Armenian monastery and one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in Armenia located in the Ararat plain with the Mount Ararat in the background. Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is due to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator, religious leader who converted Armenia from paganism to Christianity in 301, becoming the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion, was initially imprisoned here for 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. A chapel was initially built in 642 by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory. Over the centuries, it was repeatedly rebuilt and the current appearance dates from 1662. c/u/n by me, Poco2 22:33, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Support -- Poco2 22:33, 13 September 2019 (UTC)- Support: would be better without the people in the foreground, but it's a minor issue. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 05:28, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Oppose The main object is too shadowed for me --Michielverbeek (talk) 06:38, 14 September 2019 (UTC)- Support --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:00, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support One of your sharpest panoramas. You already have this FP, which is great and dramatic, but this one is better. It complements the other one by showing the monastery from a different angle, and it's also really interesting to scroll through and explore all the beautiful landscape. You have some great photos from Armenia, and I might nominate some if you don't get to them first :) Cmao20 (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Actually, turns out I have a nomination slot free, so I've put one up for vote. Cmao20 (talk) 14:18, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Question Can you do something about the sky? Charles (talk) 19:00, 14 September 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Visible stitch in the sky (color change, left side) + very visile halo around the temple. Will suppot if these are fixed - but not sure if it's possible (especially the sky). -- KennyOMG (talk) 21:59, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Charles, KennyOMG: I improved the sky and removed the halo Poco2 22:42, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Michiel, sorry --Boothsift 04:26, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others. It's a nice scene, but I don't find it photographically appealing. The light is hars, people everywhere. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:42, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Podzemnik --Fischer.H (talk) 08:09, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Ok, I give up. At least is the current version better than the initial, I believe Poco2 18:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
