  • Oppose Though it's of good quality, it's taken from the side and the majority of it is cut off. Just not up to FP standards. crassic![talk] 22:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The image only lasted an hour and a half on windmill before being reverted out by another user. Matt Deres (talk) 01:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • weak support A very pretty picture, though the line of cloud is quite distracting. On the one hand, this is kind of an odd angle for a picture of a windmill; on the other, it's informative to see the back end of this style. You may want to try it at Commons as well.

  • Comment Is there a higher resolution available? It would be better higher res (2 megapixels or more) and maybe cropped at the bottom Thisglad (talk) 03:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • weak oppose if it was cropped tighter - lose the leaves on the left and some of the space at bottom and right to put the windmill on the lower right third then it would be much better. Then it would need to be higher resolution though too. Mfield (talk) 04:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately I don't have a higher resolution version. Do you still want me to crop it? Kyle McInnes (talk) 09:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
      • It would be a better image with a crop, but it will not improve it to the point that people will overlook the lack in resolution i think. Mfield (talk) 02:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. Wonderful. Very nice composition and fresh colors. Andrew18 @ 19:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak, weak oppose Good composition and colouration, but the awkward angle and the blurry trees are a concern. SpencerT♦C 01:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
