Original - Turku Castle, dating from the 13th century, is the largest surviving medieval building in Finland, and one of the largest surviving medieval castles in Scandinavia.
Reason
Previous photos of Turku Castle have not been of sufficient quality. This new picture is of high quality and as it depicts one of the most famous buildings in Finland, it surely has a lot of EV. The picture was taken in the evening, thus the reddish lighting. In addition to the English wikipedia the picture also appears in Swedish, Finnish and Russian articles.

"If an image is listed here for about seven days with four or more reviewers in support (excluding the nominator(s)) and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-third majority in support." Sorry, but... how and why is this picture promoted?Desiderius82 (talk) 16:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Undone. I've moved the nomination to "Older noms requiring more input" to hopefully undo any damage I've caused by the mistaken promotion. I'm very sorry. Jujutacular T · C 17:19, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral I agree about it being hard to get excited about. I know the trees frame the photo a little but it is an odd proportion. I think that cropping it a bit more might help. Casliber (talk · contribs)
