• Support as nominator --High Contrast (talk) 18:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support -- The high EV and great framing/lighting offset the blandness of the building. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:09, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support per Crisco. Comment: Photo is already a featured picture on Commons, and a Commons:Quality image: see File:Qasr Kharana in Jordan.jpg --Pete Tillman (talk) 01:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support. Definitely something I can get behind- genuinely interesting and academic material, and from an underrepresented corner of the world. Great picture. J Milburn (talk) 12:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support per J Milburn. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Weak Support. Detail/image quality could be better considering this is a very bog-standard composition and very easy to reproduce, but as mentioned, it's underrepresented and sneaks over the line IMO. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Comment. The EV of the photo would be improved if there were a way to include a size reference (such as a person or a horse near the wall, so that the viewer can get a sense of the size of the subject). Spikebrennan (talk) 18:30, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support -- Stunning in a bleak sort of way. Beautiful shot. JBarta (talk) 08:29, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support Nice photograph. Aequo (talk) 07:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support The quality is pretty solid and it is a great representation. ~ Arjun 14:23, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support Per composition and great encyclopedic quality (remotel historical jewel). Materialscientist (talk) 08:49, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose It's hard to estimate the building's size and the sky is noisy and there's some CA on the edges of the fortress.-- Someone35  17:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support - high encyclopaedic value. There are some minor technical issues, but it's a FP on Commons. --Xijky (talk) 17:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
• Support There's a door for size reference (and FYI the building is 35m x 35m x the WP page doesn't mention the height). Aaadddaaammm (talk) 08:20, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
