• Oppose. Blown-out highlights, and also I think there must surely be a better location to take the pic from; I'm not too fond of the composition. Good effort and subject, though. Redquark 19:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. Great subject marred by photographic difficulties. It looks like the temple might benefit greatly from
  high dynamic range imaging. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply
