Original – From the photo's file page: "The Sacra di San Michele, sometimes known as Saint Michael's Abbey, is an architectural complex built on top of Mount Pirchiriano, situated on the south side of the Susa valley, in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Founded between the late 10th and the early 11th century, the abbey is located along the pilgrimage route that joins Monte Sant'Angelo, in the south of Italy, to Mont Saint-Michel, in the north of France."

Weak Oppose While I like the Evil Villain hideout appearance of this building, there's just too much cloud in front of the building obscuring details. It's actually worse at thumbnail than full res, which is unusual, but is off putting. I appreciate the probable difficulty of taking a clear shot, but this isn't quite good enough sorry. There also seems to be too much space to the right of this picture making it strangely unbalanced. gazhiley 12:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Striking scene. The mist in the air doesn't detract, IMO – just makes it more eerie. But is the pic tilted slightly to the right? Or is it just me? Sca (talk) 14:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
