  • Comment I'm not on a calibrated monitor right now, so I'm with-holding my vote, but this shot seems to have an awful lot of cloudy sky and open water for being a picture of a mill. It could very well be my bad monitor, but most of the mill seems to be obscured by shadow or trees; I can't even make out a wheel. Matt Deres (talk) 14:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (as creator) - I put a nice picture of the Water Mill onto wikipedia when I went to do some hobby photography at it. I need to go back and shoot one we can consider encyclopedic - Matt, the wheel's internal and not visible from outside. --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Have to agree with Joopercoopers. He's got a good eye and this is a very moody and artistic shot (almost looks watercolour paint from the thumbnail), but not encyclopaedic enough. By the way, whatever happened to the edits you were working on for the Chester Cathedral? I think that with a bit of subtle work on the colour temperature/balance, it would have been a pretty good candidate here. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
