Info Overview of the Avenue of the Dead and the Pirámide de la Luna ("Pyramid of the Mond") seen from Pirámide del Sol ("Pyramid of the Sun"), Teotihuacan, Mexico. Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas and is the most important and largest pre-Columbian city in Mexico.

Comment - I'm having trouble with things being cut off by the bottom and right crops. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Oppose Not enough wow for me; the subject is too small in the frame, the road is too horizontal to be a good leading line, and there is too much empty sky. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)- Oppose Sorry, per King. It is a great picture, but just not striking enough for FP in my opinion. --Domob (talk) 05:25, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Moderate support Good sharp shot of a fascinating place but I feel it would be better if the sky were less featureless. Cmao20 (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose a good shot, but a wow is undetectable, sorry. -- Fischer.H (talk) 17:25, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose An interesting nomination to consider, when I have a lot of experience with my own take on this view almost two years later, along with some other Wikimedians going on that post-Wikimania Wiki Loves Pyramids trip. I really thought I could get an FP nom out of that day, but for a variety of reasons that hope faded as I got home and got to processing them (although some pictures of mine from that day, to be fair, are now QIs). One reason was that this view is so easily available to anyone with a camera who reaches the top of the Piramide del Sol that it would really take something amazing to make one of those views stand out from the rest. I didn't see it in mine and I don't see it here, I'm sorry to say.
(Meanwhile, this picture I snapped that day of another Pyramid-Loving Wikimedian using his selfie stick (I still have trouble typing that last part with a straight face) atop the pyramid has become the preferred image for "man ostentatiously using his selfie stick" not only on a number of Wikipedias and Wiktionaries but elsewhere on the Internet as well. I suppose I should nominate it for VI). Daniel Case (talk) 05:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
