Weak support - It's aesthetically okay, but at 100% I'm not enjoying the composition. Without the EV I probably wouldn't be able to support this pic. ₪Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 01:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Soft, blown highlights and bleeding, huge tilt, CA all over the place, it should be a WP:VPC candidate, not a FP one. The large number of images in google of this building suggest that a decent version in its original or unrestored state should be available somewhere.

There are several pictures free to use on the article page. Would one of those be better?--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 07:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Noodle snacks. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Assuming that the building is still standing, I suggest re-shooting with a professional camera on a day with better lighting. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is before the mill was restored. It now looks like this.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 07:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, they restored that thing to death. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:30, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, they did one heck of a good charge. Still, I can't believe they charge $5 to go into it. I'm glad I was able to get Before, During, and After photos nicely showing the changes.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 21:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per the points mentioned by Noodle snacks above. — Aitias // discussion 03:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Could be a good candidate for the valued image program? Durova^Charge! 17:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Yeah, shame about the blown highlights and chromatic abberation. I suggest nominating it at VPC, as it still has excellent EV. Elucidate ^{(light up)} 18:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks like no way this will pass. Oh well, it was my first attempt. I've uploaded over 800 pictures onto Wikipedia; one of them has to be FP worthy. Will definitely nominate to VPC.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 18:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Do come back with your next good effort, or perhaps try picture peer review. Most of the regulars at FPC had a few misses when we started. Best wishes, and since you're MILHIST you might be interested in restoration? I've got plenty of material waiting for attention. Durova^Charge! 17:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
