The problem with {sinma} is that it has the sense of "esteem" or "respect". You can admire a painting or the view from your house but I don't think you can "respect" or "highly regard" them.

To me {sinma} is more for mental or conceptual properties while "admire" has a sensorial connotation that I think should be in the lojban word.
