Comment The dust spots should be removed and the sky denoised.--Ermell (talk) 22:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Ermell: done. I also made a small crop of the right side to remove what I think was a cow ear. --Pine✉ 06:51, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment It looks a bit unbalanced for me, too much grass in the foreground. I propose to crop off some of it, and also a bit on the left. --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:11, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Comment Per Uoaei1 and I might support it --Michielverbeek (talk) 21:42, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose A crop might improve this but not to FP level ... the light is just too dull. Daniel Case (talk) 03:10, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Weak
Support - The sky still looks subtly blotchy in places at full size, so I'd like to see that taken care of, but I like the composition and find the weirdness of this tower sprouting up in the middle of a field surreal and definitely worth an FP. The sky, other than the blotchiness, is fine for me, as the point is that it's an entirely ordinary scene - except for the tower! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- By the way, I think the category should be /Places/Architecture#Wales. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Dull and flat. Dull in colours (light blue and green and some little grey) Flat in what the image depicts. No interesting sky, one single disturbing and ugly in shape cloud, no interesting foreground (that green area is containing nothing interesting to focus attention on. The fench is covering the cows and probably the tower is too big in the composition, killing everything else. The photographer should go back to that same scene in a more interesting day: some dramatic sky would help, with grey clouds to match the architecture of the tower which looks gothic. Gothic tower, gothic atmosphere. A good documentaristic image for that old tower, but not an outstaning nor WOW photo, all IMO.Paolobon140 (talk) 13:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
