  • Support -- Thank you for the nomination, Tomer! This is an incredible building, one of the largest palaces in Europe and in the world. It has 1200 rooms and 4700 doors. The church has six piple organs, to which I have listen playing together two weeks ago! Alvesgaspar ( talk) 23:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Support a fine picture of an impressive building. However, I'd have preferred a shot from further away like File:Palácio Nacional de Mafra (1853).jpg, unless that is impossible now (in which case, I'll full support). Also, the shadow of a lamp at the bottom left corner is mildly irksome. dllu  (t, c) 22:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC) reply
  • The shadow was removed, thanks for noticing. It is possible to move a little further away from the building but there are some small objects in between (traffic signs and alike) and it doesn't make much difference due to its huge size. Please check geolocation on file. Alvesgaspar ( talk) 23:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Hmm, after looking around on Google Street View, it's true that various lamps, parking lots full of cars, tour buses, etc would distract from the building. I've struck out the "weak" part of my support. dllu  (t, c) 05:43, 22 May 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Comment It is a very nice image, but I do share the concern about the right side of the building being cut off. If it's impossible or difficult to actually take a single image of the whole building due to obstructions, then I would definitely be in full support.

  • Oppose Excellent work; but it seems the "missing" part is very important, reducing the EV. So I prefer File:Palácio Nacional de Mafra (1).jpg as the lead image for now (as in the Mafra (Portugal)). J Kadavoor J e e 06:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC) reply
