•  Oppose - The huge lens flare distracts me too much. An angle with raking light and no sun in the picture might work better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Images with spectacular photo effects always do well at WLM, but such lens flares are not a quality mark for an FP. --Cart (talk) 11:09, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support The lens flares are hidden enough to not detract me. I wish the resolution was better/less smudgy pixels but I'll let it pass for the good mood. – Lucas 11:32, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment Seems a bit low on details and somewhat blurry in areas of same colors like the grass. The huge lens flare is huge - don't know what to think of it. --Granada (talk) 13:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support The lens flare and moody lighting that the sunset yields seem more like (very nice) features to me. Would be quite bland otherwise. - Benh (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

• sunrise it seems. My mistake. - Benh (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
• Thanks Benh. That's what I thought when I nominated it for FP. Others may of course disagree, but I don't think lens flare should always be dismissed as a technical failing. Certainly it should usually be corrected, but in my view it's possible to use lens flare as a creative effect. Cmao20 (talk) 18:24, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Interesting discussion ;–). In this particular case, IMHO the lens flares are OK, they don’t distract me. --Aristeas (talk) 08:08, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose The dawning sun is a distraction from an otherwise interesting angle on the castle. Daniel Case (talk) 15:11, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak support Yes, there's some lens flare, but it's mostly hidden by a nice starburst effect. I think I'd prefer a slightly less centered composition thoug. --El Grafo (talk) 08:03, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
