Original – Mõdriku manor in Mõdriku, Estonia. The manor appears in written sources for the first time in 1470. Over the centuries, it has been the property of various Baltic German families, including several successive generations of the von Kaulbars family. Perhaps most notably, it belonged to the Russian general and explorer Alexander Kaulbars. The presently visible building traces its oldest parts to the 17th century.

  • Comment considering that this is a giant file, would it be possible to just crop off a little to the right, that car at the right side? I think the picture would gain on it, it would became cleaner. Hafspajen ( talk) 19:09, 15 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Sure, I've created a cropped version, should I upload it using the "upload a new version of this file" button, or as a separate, new file? - Yakikaki ( talk) 19:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • OK, here goes, cropped version:

  • For what it's worth, I think the alt is much too cramped. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support original. Not the most interesting building, but it has good EV nonetheless. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support any - but this crop was not quite how I meant, I only meant removing the car to right, nothing else. Hafspajen ( talk) 18:08, 16 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Weak support original (a straight head-on shot may be more useful), oppose alt: too tight. —  Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:09, 17 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Support original — The left side of the image could be cropped if necessary, but the tree at left provides framing, and the car at right is too close to the building to be cropped out (one wouldn't want to show part of it). Sca ( talk) 14:06, 19 October 2014 (UTC) reply
