Support. Very quaint and beautiful. I had to laugh: the first thing I say when I zoomed in on these 14th century houses was.... a satellite dish. Clegs (talk) 07:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I am a big fan of your photography! J Milburn (talk) 15:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Lovely. But I'd be very tempted to take a clone tool to that satellite dish! Colin°^Talk 22:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The composition is poor. No sky, foreground chimneys chopped off, and overall a tight, awkward cropped view of what is meant to be a "row" but is barely visible here. A quick google images search demonstrates that there are much better options for composition, like this one: [1]. Julia\^talk 20:11, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Google images search indeed shows sunnier better composed images of the same row. Sanyambahga (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
