Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Le chateau de Vaux le Vicomte

 
Original - The baroque Vaux le Vicomte Castel, Maincy, France. One of the most influential buildings of the 17th century. (Built 1658-1661)
Reason
Very high quality image of an important French castle. The lighting is very good and the background exceptional. Even at small size it makes the viewer want to know more. Would not qualify for FP as it is 27 pixels short of the minimum 1000px resolution.
