Original - The front façade of the Würzburg Residence, a palace of the former Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, Germany. The Residence was designed by several of the leading Baroque architects of the 18th century: Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and Maximilian von Welsch of the South German Baroque style, as well as Robert de Cotte and Germain Boffrand, of the French Style.

Reason

This is a great panorama of the Würzburg Residence and the beginnings of its Court Gardens, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It really brings out the harmony and elegance of the Baroque architectural style.

• Weak support. It's a nice panorama with good composition, but the image quality is slightly lacking. It's particularly noticable in the detail on either side of the building, but thankfully not too bad on the subject. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes, I noticed that. Luckily, it doesn't seem to affect the detail on the building itself : ) NauticaShades 23:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
