Koude Keuken castle, Bruges
  •  Comment Definitely an improvement. However, I still don't believe the image to be FA quality. The lighting seems warm and end-of-day-ish, but still rather flat; the trees, though framing the shot, are another distraction and they don't frame the shot evenly or help to draw the eye to the center of the frame, and there is a lot of empty space at the top, above the vane. The perspective control looks good though. Are you able to return to this location? Maybe a little more dramatic lighting, possibly a different angle (not that there's anything wrong with this angle, but the location seems to have the unfortunate tendency of having a lot of trees appearing randomly everywhere). The trees may hinder good side-lighting too, you don't want shadows everywhere. So I can't change my vote, sorry. As for the face in the window, the window dead center, closest to the drainage pipe, there definitely does seem to be someone looking out. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 20:14, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment A different angle is not into consideration, as a lot of trees hamper the view. The light is a late afternoon light indeed: it's the best moment to photograph this monument; otherwise there are shadows of the trees on it. About the man's face behind one of the windows: I myself I don't believe in phantoms and other ghosts, but it's always possible of course that this kind of building is haunted. The castle is not occupied at the present time, so everything is imaginable.... -- MJJR (talk) 21:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
