• Question is the one facing the camera also part of the row? Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

    • In that case, Support. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
• Support. Very quaint and beautiful. I had to laugh: the first thing I say when I zoomed in on these 14th century houses was.... a satellite dish. Clegs (talk) 07:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
• Support. I am a big fan of your photography! J Milburn (talk) 15:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
• Support. Lovely. But I'd be very tempted to take a clone tool to that satellite dish! Colin°^Talk 22:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose: The composition is poor. No sky, foreground chimneys chopped off, and overall a tight, awkward cropped view of what is meant to be a "row" but is barely visible here. A quick google images search demonstrates that there are much better options for composition, like this one: [1]. Julia\^talk 20:11, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose: Google images search indeed shows sunnier better composed images of the same row. Sanyambahga (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
• Support - picturesque and does a nice job of illustrating the subject. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:21, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
