  •  Comment In Belgium – like in England – most days are overcast like this (often even worse than here), therefore getting an image with a totally blue sky is almost impossible (and IMHO less authentic) unless you live there. --Mylius (talk) 07:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It does not have to be a "blue sky" photo. But I guess, that in Belgium (just like in Denmark, where I live) you also have "cloudy" days, where, if you wait for the right moment, you get better light. I think it is also a matter of the time of day. It can be see from the shadow that the facade is in shadow at this particular time of day. One out of 2300 files on Commons gets featured, so I think it is fair enough to expect that the timing in taking the image is just right. --Slaunger (talk) 07:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment What on earth is with the background of the city? Man, what has this place come to... skip the nomination, I won't waste my time here any longer and leave it to the elite (or those who know the right people to get their pictures featured).
