 * Oppose I don't like the positioning- but if you cropped it, it would be too small. Cab02 00:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose I find it somewhat blurry at full res. Also don't like the huge shadow in the left side of the pic.Nnfolz 07:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose I think this photo does not fully capture the subject. A panorama I feel would have been a huge improvement. --Fir0002 09:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose Leaning slightly to the right? - Adrian Pingstone 18:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I have this problem all the time when trying to take similar subject in France or nearby. Lovely bridge, lovely river, nice historical building nearby - totally ruined by pig-ugly bike path and neglected riverfront. It's also an uncomfortable composition - why do we have half the bridge? Is this a photo of the castle or of the bike path? Why is the absolute dead centre of the image a piece of ugly graffiti on a dirty wall? :) Stevage 23:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Beyond excellent background (picturesque historical setting and thunderstorms gathering in the far right). Foreground is darker, yes, but effect adds serenity. Eyes drawn to background not foreground. Perfect photo resolution, large size, and bright background from the setting Sun... the image should be reanalyzed. And concerning the grafiti near the centre of the photograph, most of Europe has the uncontrollable problem of grafiti on or near historical locations, ex. Eiffel Tower, Reichstag, Wawel Cathedral, et al. Note: this would not be the first photo added to the featured list with a dark or murky foreground. Thanks. AJ24 01:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
