 * Support as nominator – Yakikaki (talk) 18:49, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support — Historical and aesthetic EV. Nice oblique light. Looks cold! Sca (talk) 23:26, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I'm not too fond of the shadow covering the facade of the building. The foreground looks very shadowy as well. It greatly diminishes the exposure of the photograph in its entirety. Étienne Dolet (talk) 04:14, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. I quite like the light. It has a wintry feel of low sun. 86.171.42.107 (talk) 20:34, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support I take Étienne's point, but I think that the shaddow makes the castle look more striking. I think that this photo is of sufficient quality and has enough EV to meet the criteria. Nick-D (talk) 01:24, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Love the lighting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:35, 8 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The slanting light & shadow of the nominated version make for an atmospheric composition, conveying the feel of Baltic winters (and aiding contrast). Note that pic was taken in mid-January, when at that latitude (same as Stockholm's), sunset comes about 3 p.m. Compare to less shadowy example at right, IMO less interesting.

 * Support Not perfectly sharp, but pretty sharp, and has the resolution to make very minor issues ignorable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:13, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support original: The descriptive comment by Sca makes me envious and I really like the atmosphere of this image. I, who live at an unromantic latitude of 35th parallel north, can appreciate the EV of this image, since I will never see anywhere so far north. ツ Thanks.
