 * Oppose There's a castle in this pic somewhere?! In all seriousness I know it might not be possible to get an unobstructed view of the castle (I have no idea of the local terrain so I can't say for definate), but I cannot support a FP nom of a building, when 3/4 of the building is obstructed by trees...  gaz hiley  09:00, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Dear gazhiley These trees are part of the castle & Ancient Hill, thanks Florence (talk) 09:26, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am aware of that, hence how I worded my Oppose... And in case it was intended as patronising, please drop the "My Dear"... If that is how you actually speak then fair enough... gaz hiley  13:16, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I see the "My" part has dissapeared, rendering my comment a little out of place now... You've left the more offensive "Dear" part though... Ah well... gaz hiley  09:48, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose Composition is nowhere close to FP quality. There seem to be plenty of better angles possible:, , , , although in recent photos the trees are larger. Btw here's a free image which could be uploaded to illustrate the article, much better than this nominee does. -- ELEKHHT 22:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
