Comment: A similar image, Schloss Chenonceau.JPG, with less perspective distortion, has been recently unsuccessful as a FP candidate. Elekhh (talk) 12:38, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose original. It looks like a black hole is opening up over the castle. Kaldari (talk) 23:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: ALT1 would be the one submitted to be voted on. The original was placed to show the difference between the original and this touched up version. Calmer Waters 07:42, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Alt 1 Oppose Orig. The colour is better in Alt 1 but there is a massive loss of sharpness from the processing work - seen most clearly to left of picture - the trees and the bricks look like this is an oil painting almost...
