Oppose - At thumbnail it is a very nice image but at full size it lacks detail in the mosaic work.--Godot13 (talk) 17:33, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support, good selection by PetarM, historic, high EV. — Cirt (talk) 23:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Not bad, but the resolution is below the minimum standards. This would look quite nice with higher resolution. Mattximus (talk) 23:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Info @Mattximus,Godot13 and other before voting: Position of this mosaic is high in closed altar, so this is best one can get close (check here,[1]). So its not just its high, you aren't rectangle to it neither, far from it. I did it on zoom, but tripods aren't allowed so one more handicap, that's is why we nor some other site have something better and biger. And when you correct geometry you also loose some good portion of photo. This photo is 1,455 × 2,017 from my 16 MPx camera. So if that 45 pixles are problem I can add them, but I rather add chapter from rules for FP: Exceptions to this rule may be made where justified on a case-by-case basis, such as for historical, technically difficult or otherwise unique images. I am sure its not even small photo. Also check what did we have from Empress Teodora and Justinian up till now, due to harder conditions of taking pics there. --PetarM (talk) 09:10, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, if it's really impossible to do this any better. --Tremonist (talk) 14:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Info Picture size is now up to demands. --PetarM (talk) 16:01, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Size is just the minimum required, and not very sharp at that size. Yann (talk) 10:58, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
