- Oppose as previous nom. People. And this one seems focused on the road, not the castle. 20:07, 7 November 2018 (UTC) Charles (talk) 09:05, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment This is a tourist attraction and it would be difficult to take a picture without tourists. I will say more; without people it would look unnatural and suspicious. Secondly; this is not a castle, but they are the fortifications. The castle of Carcassonne take a part of the fortifications, but it's not shows on this image. Back to the people; thanks to them we can compare how big the walls are here. Tournasol7 (talk) 20:30, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict) Comment People in a photo can be a great asset, but to include them you have to be patient and take several shots and wait/hope for the 'right' tourists to be in a place where they add to the composition instead of just a random scattering of them. --Cart (talk) 21:33, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - People are OK, but this random configuration of people unfortunately makes this look less like a carefully composed photo than a snapshot. I voted for your previous nomination partly because the configuration of people to my mind served the composition better. And looking at it again, I actually find that composition of the ramparts more satisfyingly bilateral than this one, in which the right side extends closer than the eye can see and the left side stops having high parts at the tower. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Two people seen from the back in the foreground -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 07:23, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose While the people are less intrusive here, the composition is unbalanced. I feel like either half of the image could have worked, but not both of them together. Daniel Case (talk) 16:17, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose In these cases a photographer who wants to take an outstanding photograph to present here must be patient: sit down with your tripod and wait until the scene is completely empty and the sun is in the corret position. Might take hours, but this is a photographer's work. Otherwise better not take a photo: shutters should be saved.Paolobon140 (talk) 13:25, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
