Comment -- looks like it could do with some perspective correction, plus there is quite noticeable chromatic aberration in some places, particularly along the left edge of the house. I don't know whether it's possible to fix the latter in JPEGs. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 07:47, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I was just trying to think of the word for the angles - perspective... Not keen on the angles in this - notably the road is flat on the left, then suddenly angles up once you pass the doorstep... Plus the whole house looks like it's leaping in fear! Otherwise a decent nom... The main article should be expanded though - there is nothing mentioned in it as to why this is on the register of historic places or what's special about this specific building... gazhiley.co.uk 07:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - The curvature of the road might be due to lens distortion, which is different to Perspective distortion. Both are potentially fixable, but I don't know how to do so in this case. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 10:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks for the clarification... :-) gazhiley.co.uk 10:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The time of day is slightly suboptimal. Lots of lens and perspective distortion problems. Can't help but wonder if the car park behind would have been a better vantage point too. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the building on the left is just too distracting. Try to get a better perspective. Nergaal (talk) 02:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It should be possible to add some geographic data to this, since it's a known address. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 08:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't think the building on the left dominates the house, rather I think the photo is taken from an interesting angle. Wackywace ^{converse | contribs} 15:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Pretty much what NS said; for me the distortion is more of a drawback than the lighting. Doesn't seem a difficult subject, though, should be fairly straightforward to improve on this? Maedin\^talk 06:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
