•  Info Castle of Óbidos, , Portugal. The well preserved medieval castle is the result of the fortification undertaken by Muslims in the 8th century and later expansions over the centuries. I nominate this image as FP because the subject is spectacular and the perspective seen from this angle over the hill and the wide angle is strong IMHO. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:54, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose High-quality, but not FP with that sky, in my opinion. I'd love it if you had a chance to reshoot in more appealing conditions. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose I was on the fence about this one but I agree with Ikan, great composition and quality but the sky is so dull. I am not insisting that all shots have to be under a bright blue sky, but this isn't a dark brooding sky either, it's just grey. Strong QI but I honestly feel like it shouldn't be FP seeing someone could easily reshoot under better light. Cmao20 (talk) 21:57, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

• Striking this, I'm going to think more carefully about whether I see this image as FP or not. I am beginning to see the composition as good enough to outweigh the light. Cmao20 (talk) 11:57, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Neutral It is good, but I am still not 100% convinced it is an FP. Cmao20 (talk) 20:00, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Support actually, I like the lighting/sky. Buidhe (talk) 22:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Support The sky is good here, with all the clouds leading towards the center. An effective composition. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:18, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Support per King of Hearts. – There is a blue FFP1 mask hanging on the rocks almost in the centre. I don’t mind it, but maybe you want to clone it out ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 06:55, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Maybe my opinion kind of doesn't matter because I've opposed on other grounds, but I would oppose cloning that out, as it shows the times. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment OK, sorry, so please forget my hint. I had pointed out that mask because I remember people opposing to FP candidates because of some minor items of waste here or there on the ground and I wanted to avoid that. --Aristeas (talk) 14:09, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

• I don't have a problem with cloning out occasional litter or birds in the sky (sometimes they just look like streaks). These things are not the subject and are here one moment and blown away the next. If the subject was about tourist mess, or "the times" we live in, then of course we'd keep that stuff, but the subject is an old castle. -- Colin (talk) 15:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Ikan. --Ivar (talk) 07:49, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. Photography is about light. The light here is meh. Plus the entrance track on the right is unappealing. -- Colin (talk) 12:38, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 02:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
