Info This picture is from the thatched summer houses located at the most western point of Denmark; Blåvandshuk. The burned down house in the foreground was hit by lightning on Nov 19, 2016 and rapidly burned down due to its thatched roof. I am intrigued by the contrast between the ruin and intact houses partially hidden in sand dunes in the background, which are all very expensive (300000-70000$ market price) Slaunger -- Slaunger (talk) 22:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Comment how about a entry at Wikinews about this event? -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 01:13, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Oppose No wow for me. I guess if the burnt house stood out more starkly than it does, I might have supported. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 16 March 2017 (UTC)- Oppose A great documentary photo, but it has no artistic line or element that makes me go 'wow'. Such old/new or in this case burned down/still standing comparative photos are always hard to get right. There are so many unfortunate but interesting features that a burned building provides for a photo. Perhaps a pic lining up and focusing on the chimneys (burned and not) or something would have worked better, or even a solitary photo of the burned house in that sea of grass. Sorry. --cart-Talk 14:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the review, cart. You nail it pretty well in your review and i understand what you mean. I am standing on top of a dune such that I have an elevated vantage point and the ruin can better be seen. But I agree the composition and alignment is not striking, and I can't move the dunes. The February light on the day did not give much to work with either. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- cart: I actually do have a version, which is close to the idea you are proposing with chimney alignment. But at 115 mm focal distance and 1/80 s shutter time there is too much camera shake and the quality simply isn't there. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:07, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
