Tumuli Tinghøjen Denmark
  •  Support Probably not as sharp as it might be but even if it was an "ordinary" hill it would be a nice one :). As it is it has a good EV and is a well composed image. The info is useful too (I do wish more people would give more info). --Herby talk thyme 10:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - Darius Baužys → talk 12:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - Jean-Pol GRANDMONT (talk) 14:39, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I also agree that the image's description needs to be fleshed out a bit more and expanded. Cousin Kevin (talk) 20:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment. I have now (to the best of my ability) added an English translation of the known registrations for this tumulus based on the link that was already there on the file page. I hope that adds to the fleshing out requested. As for slight blur/resolution, I was a little in doubt of what would be the best composition in the end when I was on-site, so I took a relatively wide view and experiemented with cropping it at home until I got the nominated result. Due to the crop the resolution is non-optimal. I also took another photo, where I zoomed on the tumuli. This one resolves the tumulus a bit better, but I find the composition too uninteresting to consider nominating it at FPC. With respect to Kallerna's comment about the ordinarity of the subject, I can somewhat acknowledge this. The tumuli shown is not a special tumuli but just one of several thousands. And when you just pass them they quite frankly normally look quite uninteresting. My objective with this nomination is to try and make a regular/common subject look visually appealing and interesting. Had it been just a hill, it would have dissapeared a houndred year ago as a result of repeated plowing. The bushes on the tumulus indicate that it is untouched by agricultural machinery. That is how thousands of other tumuli have dissapeared, amongst those another tumulus, which once was right besides this one. Today that area is agricultural field and completely flattened out. --Slaunger (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Interesting historical subject and nice winter light! As there is only one hill visible, the English description should mention "tumulus" (singular) and not "tumuli" (plural). -- MJJR (talk) 22:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah yes, you are right. I've corrected it on the file page(s) (and in my comment above). And thanks for your appraisal of the winter light! --Slaunger (talk) 08:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
