•  Comment Nice, but we don't see low light, so did you increase the light in post-production, if so how much, and if you want to show a low-light interior, might you decrease the brightness? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

  Low light refers to the noise reduction profile used in topaz denoise Wilfredor (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

• So it just decreases noise and doesn't increase brightness? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:13, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

  Exactly, this has more to do with how the noise is reduced and not the ambient light. This type of noise reduction profile better eliminates noise indoors. Wilfredor (talk) 04:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

• OK, I understand. I'll live with this photo longer before making a decision. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment I'm confused about the focus point. The left side is not as sharp as the right side. In fact the last guy on the left was sharpend but not the column behind him. That looks awkward (please, check Topaz sharpening mask). The baldachin is not sharp (even with Topaz) and the windows at the top are blown (HDR should always we done in church interiors). I'm really not convinced Poco a poco (talk) 07:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose The quality level is IMHO not at FP level, the focus is around the third column with a too shallow DoF. The baldachin is not sharp and the areas closer to the camera (more than half of the image) isn't sharp either. Poco a poco (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Alt version

•  Info Thanks to the @Poco a poco: comment, I just uploaded a new version, I hope this has corrected the problem, also apply a white balance based on the column color. I apologize for taking so long to respond. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
• Wilfredor, it looks better, but is the lavender color around the window frames in the dome above the altar real or CA? I'm not seeing it a lot so far in a web search. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

   Done Incredible, you are a very good observer, I had to look for close photos I took of the windows to confirm this. Thanks Wilfredor (talk) 04:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  this picture of the window. It has created doubts in me if it really was CA. I would like to ask for your guidance Wilfredor (talk) 14:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Ikan Kekek: What do you think? Wilfredor (talk) 23:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  I already voted to support below. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

• Based on your comment I'm pinging some people because they might prefer this other version. @Cmao20, SHB2000, MZaplotnik, Aristeas, Ermell, and LexKurochkin: --Wilfredor (talk) 04:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

   Support Yes, I prefer this version. --SHB2000 (talk) 04:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

   Neutral No, I prefer the first version. I visited St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican twice, and the first version looks more realistic to me. In the second version light significantly changed making the overall impression slightly unnatural IMO. LexKurochkin (talk) 06:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  •  Neutral I also prefer the first version, it seems more authentic. MZaplotnik^(talk) 15:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support, but Lex's remarks give me some pause. I haven't visited Rome since 1998, and though that will change in a few days, I don't know if we'll get to the Vatican or not on a brief trip. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  Rome is an excellent city to visit, just be careful, especially if you come from a developed country, with people who seem to argue over anything or try to take advantage of you. It reminds me a lot of Latin America in that last aspect Wilfredor (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks, but I've been to Rome 3 times before and grew up in New York when it was really dangerous, so I expect I'll be OK this time, too. I speak Italian, too, though I'm rusty. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  Vatican is marvelous place. Sweet memories of old good times. I hope you'll have good chance to get to Vatican soon. LexKurochkin (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, if not this time, soon. I have been to Saint Peter's, but quite a while ago. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  I recommend going to Sunday mass, you say that you are going to pray and you can go to the interior part (the altar of the dove), unfortunately I was honest and said that I am not Catholic, I only wanted to take photos which access was denied Wilfredor (talk) 03:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  My girlfriend is Catholic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

  If you engaged in relationships before marriage, then you're not adhering to Catholic principles, nor are you if you skip Mass every Sunday. I served as an altar boy for many years and received my education at a seminary. It's common to encounter individuals who identify as Catholic but don't fully practice the faith. I'm not implying that your girlfriend falls into this category. It was merely an intriguing subject I thought worth bringing up. Perhaps we could shift this conversation elsewhere, so as not to clutter this nomination with unrelated commentary Wilfredor (talk) 13:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support I prefer this one, nice job. --Terragio67 (talk) 19:31, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
