Neutral I like it, but it's a strange composition. Perhaps it was meant to be a horizontal frame. There almost seems to be too much floor. Otherwise, I like it. I personally would go so far as to paint out the weird fire alarm thingy on the far back wall, I find it to be one of those modern blemishes that appear all too often in beautiful locations. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 05:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Comment I disagree with painting out the fire alarm thing. I think photographs meant to be used in an encyclopedia should not be modified in this manner, because they lose documentary value. InverseHypercube (talk) 06:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Hmm, that's a fair point. I suppose an image on an encyclopedia would have a different raison d'être than a picture hung on a wall of someone's living room (or whatever). Anyway, for the record, the fire alarm thingamabob would not affect my vote. My "neutral" is definitely for the beauty of the staircase, the flow of the wood, but the lack of a fitting composition. : ) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 09:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Neutral I greatly appreciate the composition and B&W generation. On the technical side, I would have recommended to use base ISO, as there is a fair amount of noise. Also, stopping down the lens to f/8 could have improved the sharpness. As you used a tripod, the resulting longer exposure time would not have been a problem, anyway. Therefore, if you have the possibility to shoot the scene again, I would support a new version. Alternatively, a PP for noise control and sharpness would do to get my support.

- Comment I really like the composition and light - the way the light reflects on the floor is very nice. Noise seems a little excessive. The file description is insufficient IMO for an FP: Which castle in Belgium? I noticed the dirt on the floor, which gives the impression that it is a deserted castle, but is that right? --Slaunger (talk) 21:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
