Info Vaxholm Fortress. The fortress was originally constructed by Gustav Vasa in 1544 to defend Stockholm against shipborne attacks from the east, but most of the current structure dates from 1833-1863. Created, uploaded and nominated by -- ArildV (talk) 13:20, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Great image. But I find the motion blur of the Swedish flag disturbing (although there's nothing we can do about it due to the need for long shutter speed) and there is obvious border around parts of the building from sharpening. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:55, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Very nice, but white sharpening thin line all along the roof.--Jebulon (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I find the sharpening line and the blurred flag necessary tradeoffs for getting an otherwise excellent blue-hour photo of a non-modern building, something which nicely balances out our many blue-hour photos of modern buildings (i.e., buildings that are illuminated at least in part from within and thus easier to photograph under those circumstances). If the photographer had chosen otherwise, we might well have an image with a clear flag and no line ... but blown highlights all over the castle walls, which would have been a dealbreaker for me.

- Apart from the white line, I'm not far to agree with you, Daniel Case --Jebulon (talk) 21:35, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
