 * Reason:Quality image of this 11th century castle. I saw this on Commons recently. In the article, this image replaced an almost identical lower quality image, so I am taking exception to the 7 day waiting period.

 * Seems slightly tilted. MER-C 16:49, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I am not sure. If so, very little. Pinging for a second opinion. Slightly tapered exteriors aren't uncommon in older dwellings. Bammesk (talk) 17:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I edited the image (uploaded as a separate file). The tower's midline is now vertical. Some lines have a built-in taper though. Bammesk (talk) 01:22, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the ping, Bammesk; sorry that I didn’t notice it earlier. Well, when I edited the photo I examined it thoroughly and noticed that there may be a tiny little bit of tilt. I write “may be”, because when taking and editing photos of such old buildings I have often noticed that they are tilted (sometimes substantially) in reality. Therefore and because the tilt is very small I decided not to rotate the photo in my edited version because any changes of the projection cause a loss in detail resolution and sharpness of a JPEG image; in the end I prefer a little bit more sharpness and microcontrast over the correction of a very small and uncertain tilt. But that was my personal consideration, and it was geared for the requirements of the Commons FPC review where image quality (even in detail) is very important. For this nomination as a Wikipedia FP the documentary value is even more important, so here a rotated version may be more appropriate if you think so.
