A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque (isfahan, iran)

* Oppose The title of photo is misleading, Muslim praying is not like this, to me it seems like a tourist looking up at the window. In a previous nomination, the photo had a wrong title, and I brought it up to uploader's attention and he agreed, but failed to rename the file and correct the info. --Gnosis (talk) 19:44, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Gnosis: I think you're right. what's the nearest name to this picture? what do you think? a tourist looks at the light is good? a tourist can be christian or Buddhist and can pray as their own way. some religion believes you can pray god in every temple or mosque or church.--Amirpashaei (talk) 20:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Amirpashaei: What you assume about praying is not a fact, how do you know she is not an atheist? What I can see in this picture is a woman (not even sure if she is a tourist) is looking at light coming through the window at Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque. --Gnosis (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: , @Gnosis: , can we put him away and will name the picture just Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque?
May be call it "File:A visitor in Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg"? --El Grafo (talk) 08:26, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. good offer. A visitor or a tourist. I agree.--Amirpashaei (talk) 08:28, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Either proposed names works for me. --Gnosis (talk) 18:41, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I'd be inclined to support when it's properly renamed, but I'd feel happier if the brightest highlights, which look quite blown to me, are dialed back a bit. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please please, a thousand times, please do not "dial back" the "brightest highlights". Direct or reflected specular light like this should be as bright as we can render in JPG, and not reduced by a slider to paper white. However, the white parts in the centre and above the woman's head do not look pleasing. Is there damage to the tiles, or is that just a bright light reflection? If the latter, and you are using HDR, then perhaps this could be handled better with nicer transition to bright -- here it just looks like someone splatted white paint onto the photo. But perhaps it can't be fixed because the camera has simply caught a bad reflection angle, and maybe a slightly different position would have avoided this harsh reflection? -- Colin (talk) 09:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Colin: , @Ikan Kekek: , I took 5 shut with 5 different levels of exposure. but because of reflecting light directly to the lens, unfortunately there is not any details can recover them.--Amirpashaei (talk) 13:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question - So to pursue this a bit: Per Colin's question: Is there damage to the tiles or is that just a bright light reflection? Is that what you answered above? To clarify: that's what's preventing me from supporting this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Agree about the name. I suggest something like "File:A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" or "File:A visitor in Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" (suggested by El Grafo). @Amirpashaei: If you agree to "File:A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" (or "File:A visitor in Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg", I personally prefer the first one because it also has the word "lady" and therefore is more specific), I can rename the file upon your request once the nomination is over. Pinging @Gnosis, Daniel Case, Ikan Kekek. Thank you. Ahmadtalk 13:16, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with "A lady visiting Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.jpg" . very nice. thanks for your effort @Ahmad252: .--Amirpashaei (talk) 13:33, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll rename it and fix things for you with the nom page, code and everything. --Cart (talk) 14:46, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your kind Mrs carter.--Amirpashaei (talk) 14:56, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I've also cleaned up a lot of red-linked/broken suggestions above so no one accidentally clicks on them and create them. --Cart (talk) 15:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
thanks a lot Mrs carter. --Amirpashaei (talk) 15:18, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
