 * Oppose. Useful photo, but not quite up to featured pic, IMO; gargoyle is backlit, obscuring its details, and the sky is too white and washed out. -- Oarih 07:20, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, agree with User:Oarih's points. Mgm|(talk) 11:21, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Just to be a little bit harsh, I wonder why quite a few clearly unsuitable pics appear in Featured Picture Candidates, often out-of-focus or washed out or tilted? This if for Featured Pictures, not for merely Good Enough pictures. Sorry to be a little cruel but it needed to be said. This pic is drab with a washed out background. Now watch all the Accepts appear! - Adrian Pingstone 15:17, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose -Acceptable, but not great. Perspective is not very good.--Deglr6328 18:15, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
