•  Info all by me -- Ermell (talk) 08:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Ermell (talk) 08:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support I personnally don't like people so I would clone the two on the left (if possible). But it's stunning anyway, good shot! --Basotxerri (talk) 09:07, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support - Dramatic and a good composition. The two people are so tiny in the context of the photo, I had to look really hard to even notice them, and I just consider them a detail of the scenery. No need to clone them out, IMO. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:21, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment Take this only as a personal note, only my impressions or like I would prepare the image. --Basotxerri (talk) 12:32, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Impressive lighting. --Cayambe (talk) 10:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Nice atmosphere -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose straightforward composition, no wow and (much) underexposed. - Benh (talk) 12:39, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --XRay ^talk 13:45, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Ralf Roleček 14:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- At first I thought it was too dark but at 100% it's captivating. The darkness is like a vignette zooming you into the center, nicely lit castle. PumpkinSky talk 14:33, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support per PumpkinSky --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 16:02, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Albertus teolog (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Llez (talk) 06:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 15:55, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Benh. A valiant effort, but ultimately suffers from underexposure. Daniel Case (talk) 23:26, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Very good. As PumpkinSky said: The underexposure guides the eye to the main subject which is lit by the sunlight. I like this composition very much. --Code (talk) 08:27, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Milseburg (talk) 10:40, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Benh and Daniel, regardless of the perfect composition. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 22:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment I'm really surprised that this heavily underexposed picture gathers so many supports. I see what effect is wanted. But this were just not the proper conditions to get it. When one looks at histogram, nothing is past the middle. When exposed correctly, the effect (where the castle stands out) disappears a bit. Looks more a big technical mistake than a feature. - Benh (talk) 19:28, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment Maybe it is better to look at the motif and not at the histogram. A large part of the picture is certainly underexposed, but that's how the light situation was when the sun lit up the castle suddenly for only 1 minute. The dark parts of the picture are without any important information except the clouds where it fits well in my opinion.--Ermell (talk) 08:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
