 * Comment I'm not on a calibrated monitor right now, so I'm with-holding my vote, but this shot seems to have an awful lot of cloudy sky and open water for being a picture of a mill. It could very well be my bad monitor, but most of the mill seems to be obscured by shadow or trees; I can't even make out a wheel. Matt Deres (talk) 14:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly an internal wheel? --jjron (talk) 14:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose (as creator) - I put a nice picture of the Water Mill onto wikipedia when I went to do some hobby photography at it. I need to go back and shoot one we can consider encyclopedic - Matt, the wheel's internal and not visible from outside. --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you're opposing as creator would you like me to withdraw the nom? We've probably got enough here to satisfy the user who requested the nom. --jjron (talk) 14:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't the admin bods that look after FIC do that - you're the nominator - request it from MER-C. regards --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Have to agree with Joopercoopers. He's got a good eye and this is a very moody and artistic shot (almost looks watercolour paint from the thumbnail), but not encyclopaedic enough. By the way, whatever happened to the edits you were working on for the Chester Cathedral? I think that with a bit of subtle work on the colour temperature/balance, it would have been a pretty good candidate here. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry Dilif, been v. busy in real life - I finished it and uploaded it I think, just need to find some time to put it up for discusssion again. --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn per comments of creator. --jjron (talk) 15:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
