Oppose I don't think the weather makes the photo special. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:39, 16 October 2023 (UTC)- Support I agree with Tagooty. --Kritzolina (talk) 18:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- Support Interesting mood. ★ 19:29, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Comment I haven't decided yet, but my first impression that's lingered so far is that it's too dark and that the sky is not exciting enough to countervail that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:34, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

- Support For me, the dark clouds fit perfectly with the sober appearance of the building. --Famberhorst (talk) 17:02, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
Weak support - ABAL1412🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺 (talk ☭) 20:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)- Oppose The light is not working in my view, and I find the sky unappealing -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:40, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose The image captures an imposing castle that, while stately, is somewhat marred by a noticeably hasty crop on the left side. This abrupt cropping interrupts the continuity of the infrastructure, leaving the viewer with an incomplete perspective and feeling as though a part of the story has been left out. The overcast sky, though aiming for drama, unfortunately falls flat and tends to be monotonous. Instead of enhancing the castle's atmosphere, the uniform grayness of the clouds fails to provide the necessary contrast or intrigue. The stone walls of the castle, showing signs of wear and neglect, could have stood out more prominently against a more dynamic sky. Moreover, the vegetation, already sparse and subdued, struggles to bring life to the composition due to the overshadowing by both the castle and the unvaried sky. All these elements combined lead to a scene that, while it could have been evocative and commanding, unfortunately feels incomplete and somewhat lackluster. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
