Milecastle 39 on Hadrian's Wall

The remains of Milecastle 39, on Hadrian's Wall, one of the many small forts built to protect Roman Britain from the Picts.

Alternate, more dynamic photo, but clips the fort a bit.

Reason

I think it's an attractive picture that gives an idea of the length of Hadrian's Wall (stretching off into the distance, as well as present in the foreground), nice depth of focus. That said, I'm not a photographer, so if it's not good enough, that's fair enough. Adam Cuerden ^talk 14:21, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

By the by, neither of these images has any levels adjustment done to them, so feel free to tweak. Adam Cuerden ^talk 20:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Poor quality image, mostly to do with the camera I suspect than any fault of the photographer. However also has a rather uninteresting/commanding composition --Fir0002 02:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose There's something weird going on with the quality; it almost looks like someone turned up the median filter. I can't support the images due to the technical issues alone. --Mad Max 03:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Ah, well. Fair enough. I'll leve it up just in case someone can tweak the levels, but it's not a particularly good camera, and the best I can say for these shots is they're better than the pictures already in the Hadrian's Wall articles. That, however, is not difficult. Adam Cuerden ^talk 15:25, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose At full res, the lack of sharpness is really distracting. Probably has to do with the camera as noted above. Sorry. Jumping cheese 01:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
