  • Support The picture looks pretty good. It has an excellent composition, the crop is great, and the picture overall is just excellent. However, that tree on the left side of the picture (covering up the mansion) is kind of distracting... I don't think it hurts the encyclopedic value too much though.

    • Comment Thanks for the criticism and compliments. I was glad the tree didn't all of its leaves. --Chrismiceli (talk) 03:58, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose The composition is too tight in my opinion. The lighting is also a bit harsh. Other than these two issues it is very nice, would gladly support if it can be re-shot to mitigate them. Jujutacular (talk) 03:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I appreciate the criticism. This is my first FPC. Unfortunately I was travelling and can't retake, but I will take your input into consideration for future pictures. --Chrismiceli (talk) 03:58, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sorry to hear you can't re-take! It is good work. I look forward to seeing more FPC nominations from you. Jujutacular (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose. A bit tight IMO too, and unfortunate that the trees are obscuring the subject and it is in shadow. Detail otherwise seems good. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- The subject matter is FP status worthy. I know from first hand experience that any mansion is difficult to photograph. My concern is the tree on the left side and the shadow area on the lower part of the mansion. Possibly changing the angle and getting the sun to brighten up the mansion would make a better photo.

  • Neutral I don't like the branches on the left but there may not be anything that the photographer could have done to get a better photo. Also this seems a little out of focus when viewed at full size. Pine 07:08, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose -- I wish the photo could have been taken at a different time when the façade was not in shadow. Sanyambahga (talk) 11:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support --- I really think you need to get rid of the tree on the left. It really blocks the picture. Otherwise, it is a very good picture Earth8845 —Preceding undated comment added 18:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
