Info I was surprised that we don't yet have an FP of the Hagia Sophia, surely the finest and most famous example of Byzantine architecture. This one seems FP quality to me; I admit the light isn't perfect, but the quality and resolution are superb, and, looking at other images of the building on Commons, it seems to be shot from the best angle possible to show the architecture.

Oppose Just because we don't have better images here in Commons doesn't mean that better angle could not be done. The trees are very distracting and the foreground is too busy. Also rather dull light. —kallerna (talk) 04:56, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think three is a better angle, —kallerna. Charles (talk) 16:05, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I’ve seen better in several wallpapers. —kallerna (talk) 20:15, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
