Much better, thanks. Bammesk (talk) 16:37, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bammesk: I don’t think the two images are comparable, they’re quite different. I plan on nominating the infobox image as well, to be featured in the architecture gallery since the focus is the monastery. Nominated this image precisely for the wider view of the valley where the monastery is only a small part of the image as a whole, and therefore in the landscapes gallery.

The idea is that the etymology of the monastery speaks to the mythical status of the cave in the cliff, which becomes apparent from the wider view. But as a representative image (i.e. for infobox) the close-up is better. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I am not opposed to the nom image becoming FP. It meets all the requirements. I am just neutral. Bammesk (talk) 01:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
