Oppose Hi Ruhrfisch and congratulations on your success at WLM. I'm afraid it isn't up to the standard expected at Commons FP for castles and similar views. I appreciate a 16th century tower house might not have perfectly vertical walls, and the image has no true horizon, but it does look like it is tilted anti-clockwise. The time of day is unfortunate as it means most of the near side of the castle is in shade. This is not only less attractive than if lit, but reduces the details we can see. The composition includes some leaves from a near bush, along the bottom and right, which could do with being cropped off. The whole image is a bit soft and these bush leaves are quite sharp, which makes me think your camera has focused on the bush rather than the castle. It would have been ideal if the Irish flag was flying, which it is in some other photos of this castle, and is always a nice touch. -- Colin (talk) 12:51, 22 March 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Thanks for contributing this image to the project, but I'm afraid I agree with Colin. I don't actually mind the composition, but I do think you may have missed the focus on the castle itself. Cmao20 (talk) 14:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - thanks to both of you for being kind. I am fine with closing this nomination early and do not want to waste any more of the community's time with it. Ruhrfisch (talk) 15:29, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Info Hi Ruhrfisch, the correct way for you to do this would have been to place {{withdrawn}} and signed on the nomination. After that, one of us would have closed and archived the nomination. Since you probably didn't know this, I will fix this for you. Just keep it in mind until the next time. :-) --Cart (talk) 17:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
