Oppose. Seems quite soft/blurry at 100%, possibly it was mis-focussed because the shutter speed of 1/100th should be fast enough, and the aperture of f/10 should be ok (unless it was taken with a P&S camera with small sensor, in which case it could be diffraction-limited).

Comment FYI the 12MP original photo is File:Iran Tiles temp.JPG and this is a 9MP crop with perspective/alignment/rotation distortion fixed in Lightroom (a process which adds to the softness). I agree it isn't as sharp as one might hope, but looks good if you downsize to 5MP, say. However, I'm not convinced the article-EV is sufficient. It is in a gallery in the Mosque article, and although it is in the lead of tile, it is easily replacable there. Colin°^Talk 12:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question what are the grilles in the middle of the image? I think the caption should give more detail about the subject of this photo. Pine^✉ 05:32, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
