  • Support as nominator --Pofka (talk) 09:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- I think we have much better image of the castle that has been taken from a better angle. Sanyambahga (talk) 12:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alt. 1
  • Support — Of course, this isn't the usual postcard shot, which is more like the one at left.
But, having been there, I find this view, with sailboats, interesting. Sca (talk) 14:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - View of the castle is cut off by the boats and walkway, and even the boats are cut off a little. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:37, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Speedy Close - This has no chance of passing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Crisco. J Milburn (talk) 17:14, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is definitely not a postcard of the castle. Look at the image as whole: dark mysterious water in the bottom (who knows how many Teutonic knights sank there), boats, bridge with people and castle in the background. That is a really great composition with perfect colors. --Pofka (talk) 21:35, 29 March 2014 (GMT +2)
  • Oppose Cluttered composition means that this isn't a photo of anything in particular. It doesn't clearly illustrate what the castle looks like, it doesn't clearly illustrate what its approaches looks like, and it doesn't clearly illustrate how it's now a tourist attraction.

  • Oppose either--They are not just FP quality. Herald 13:57, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Who moved my pic. & called it "Alt. 1"?? I wasn't nominating it as an alternative, just showing it (small) as an example of a more conventional straight-on shot. Sca (talk) 14:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
