  • Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 11:06, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a bit on the fence about this one - while it's a wonderful photo, I'm not sure about the EV. I'm not at all familiar with this castle, but it seems that the other side of the ruins are less obstructed given that they seem to face straight onto the hill. Moreover, this photo doesn't really show why the castle was built in that location - presumably it was to stop enemy forces moving up the valley, but that isn't clear from this angle. From looking at the photos linked via Google maps, this angle seems to have much stronger EV, though the composition isn't as nice. Nick-D (talk) 07:34, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • This one does, though, have the advantage of placing it in context. The question would be whether the context from the other direction was more significant... (It was me who added it to the article.) J Milburn (talk) 08:52, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Both views add EV, I don't see why we can't have one of each featured. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • On further consideration, support per Adam; this angle doesn't seem to have the strongest EV, but it's good enough. Nick-D (talk) 07:14, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
