Comment. Nice mood, although the background is so colourful that is somewhat distracting. I am also confused about the copyright: the image appears to be from a commercial website which states: "WyrdLight has images and articles at the free encyclopedia. Images are about 750 pixels on the longest side and 72 dpi. All Wiki images are free to use. WyrdLight Wiki image use requires only attribution" [1], however this image is much larger than that.

I assumed that "All Wiki images are free to use. WyrdLight Wiki image use requires only attribution" would override the size, even though it hasn't been explicitly said that anything smaller isn't free to use. Is there a way to verify that the uploader owns the site? He says that it is his own work, but you never know... TheWeakWilled (T * G) 20:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your good faith assumption was correct: creator of image has been confirmed. I support the nomination. Elekhh (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - As stated above, it has some quality issues that don´t let it be a featured picture, but yes a valued image. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 21:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree with above...--Sabri76'^message 21:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's a very atmospheric picture that captures what has made Bodiam Castle such an intriguing place for scholars. The morning light beautifully shows of the castle in its moat and the most important surviving features of the building, the grand entrance and the approach. But as well as looking good, the image also includes features which appear defensive and are quintessential of castles. Nev1 (talk) 21:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
