Support, though the caption may have slightly the wrong tone. ("It is interesting", for instance.) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion about the caption. I tried to improve it. May I please ask you what do you think?--Mbz1 (talk) 23:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better, but "The arms of the cross are becoming gradually narrower toward the end." is a bit confusing, as they appear to get narrower towards the middle. A better phrasing might be "Like the Maltese cross, the arms of the cross grow wider as they move away from the centre."

I've changed it. Thank you!--Mbz1 (talk) 14:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I am reluctant to support my own image & I am flattered that Mbz1 considers it worthy. I set out to capture both the cross (one of a series which I am trying to get - there should be an article in it as they mark an ancient trackway) and to get a feel for a fairly remote area of the UK. So Support with thanks I guess! --Herby ^{talk thyme} 19:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support I love the way the cross stands out against the landscape. Colours are also spot-on (shame about all the clouds, though) and it captures the hills/tors, as well as the resevoir and its trees. Jolly Ω Janner 16:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice foto with gothic atmosphere.--Umnik (talk) 18:54, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
