Support - This nomination is a stretch just because this photo was declined at COM:QIC, but the sole reason for the decline was "The castle fills only 20% of the picture". I won't argue with QIC standards for depiction of a subject, but please hear me out: This is a landscape with ruined castle, not a picture of castle ruins that happens to have a bit of incidental greenery in it: The landscape including the castle, rather than just the castle itself, is the subject. Or another way of putting it is that without the castle, this is a nice landscape, and the castle is the added element that makes the picture special and, in my opinion, featurable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:12, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Oppose I'm sorry I can't share your enthusiasm over this. The landscape may be part of the scene, but did it really have to include that big fir on the left. The colors and the composition, pardon me for being too blunt, but at first glance I thought it was one of those hand colored postcards from the 60s and we were dealing with a restoration project. Perhaps better suited for VI. --w.carter-Talk 19:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Comment - I like the big fir because it provides a partial frame for the picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:48, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose I normally don't mind things like that tree, but per w. carter it's too big and distracting. Plus, while I love the detail, the color is as he said kind of washed-out looking. Daniel Case (talk) 05:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I figured the color actually looked like that in that light. Do you think that's not possible? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per Daniel --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:33, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment The quality and the composition are good to me but it just seems strangely polarised. Is it possible to see another image from the place without using a polariser?--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- User:Abrget47j, if you would like to respond to anything, please do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose I can’t help finding the colours and contrast on the trees rather unnatural (and the clouds, too). Appears overprocessed to me. I don’t say it actually is but it looks like that to me. --Kreuzschnabel 11:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - It's obvious that there won't be 8 votes to feature, and also, this photographer contributes only photographs, never comments, so there's no possibility of getting any response to this discussion from him/her. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:55, 16 August 2016 (UTC)}}
