• Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Exteriors#Iran
•  Info created by and uploaded by Amirpashaei - nominated by Hanooz (Possibly taken from the second floor of Qeysarie bazaar) -- Hanooz 11:15, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Hanooz 11:15, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I see from the history that the photographer has altered the photo several times since first upload. Most of the changes seem harmless though I would caution against making changes to permanent features. The original upload had a litttle more height top and bottom, and I'm not sure why that was cropped out -- can it be restored? -- Colin (talk) 11:52, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

If the edits are not constructive we can simply revert to the earlier versions. If they are I can send an email to the uploader and ask him to upload a bigger version. Hanooz 13:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

• The sky is fake?--Claus 13:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I think you are right. The clouds near the horizon do not have the appearance of clouds near a horizon. Hanooz can you ask the uploader about this. It is one thing to remove tourists from an image but sky replacement is a big no no. The WLM Iran team should also be informed. Compare File:Naghshejahan.jpg from 2018. -- Colin (talk) 13:57, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
    •  On hold I'm speaking with him on email. Hanooz 16:30, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
    • For me fake sky is also a no go (especially when it's communism propaganda quality like here), but we have cases of sky substitution which got close to POTY in the past ;) - Benh (talk) 17:06, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
• Cropped because of fixing perspective errors and straight vertical lines. The clouds are fake but I clone them because I thought that manipulation dont cause the main subject to be misrepresented and not intended to deceive. this image merged from 25 picture with 24mm tilt shift lens . (5*5) 5 frame and 5 level exposure for each frame and finaly merged to this picture — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amirpashaei (talk • contribs)
•  Oppose The composition is gorgeous. The thorough photoshopping that went on top is less... The lighting of the clouds doesn't even match the one on the ground. And I don't get how the dark area of the inside "dome" is of so poor quality despite the many raw pictures which served as a basis. - Benh (talk) 17:16, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose No fake skies, please. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Other than the sky, this is great. Kestreltail (talk) 01:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose It's quite startlingly impressive to look at, but it really isn't accurate to reality. The sky simply doesn't look natural, and I feel that the image is quite oversaturated too. Cmao20 (talk) 07:15, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support. FP now with the proper sky. Cmao20 (talk) 16:15, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per above, as member of the WLM jury in Iran I'll have to make sure that we discard this image, a pity. Poco² 09:08, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
• @Colin, Benh, Frank Schulenburg, Kestreltail, and Poco a poco: Could you please take a look at the new version (with the real sky)? Hanooz 12:46, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

• Hanooz:This kind of editing are not welcome here at FPC nor in WLM. WLM contest's rules there are clear, and this kind of editing is clearly violating them. Reverting that edit doesn't make things fine again. I'm only ready to change my vote if the photographer assures you that no other images are edited like this one was or in that case that a new version is uploaded where deceiving edits are reverted. The photographer should take this seriously, if we find such an editing again in any other of the images submitted to WLM I'd recommend the other members of the jury not to let pass any of the photographer's images. Poco² 15:38, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Poco a poco He says this one's clouds are also from another image and this one is edited as he mentioned in the caption. Hanooz 16:14, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, Hanooz, I  Support now Poco² 16:39, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Not as impressive with the blank sky, but still FP in my opinion. Kestreltail (talk) 12:57, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 15:13, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support - The light and possibly the sharpness could be better, but this is a very big panorama and a fine picture of a very striking motif. Support per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Why not--Boothsift 01:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Daniel Case (talk) 06:16, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Gnosis (talk) 21:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
