- Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff. These misericords of the Basilica of Saint Denis date from between 1508 and 1517. The image doesn't look that impressive in a thumbnail, and is best appreciated when viewed in detail. The craftsmanship is quite incredible. Although the angle and perspective isn't ideal, it's unfortunately the best angle to photograph them from, as they are protected behind barriers that prohibit a good straight view. -- Diliff (talk) 14:57, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

- Support Looks dark at thumb size, but oh my the detail that opens up at full. Daniel Case (talk) 15:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose I don´t like the wide angle distorsion and how it affects the with of the seats down the row. Also, I miss reading the banner of the last seat. The image fails to capture the woodwork of the scenes adequately. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose While I do like the detail, I agree "the angle and perspective isn't ideal" and at FP it overall image has to work as well as any technical excellence at the fine-detail level. It may be the best that can be achieved, given the barriers, but the overall image doesn't exceed QI despite the fantastic resolution. -- Colin (talk) 12:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Support Carvings are really beautiful and nicely depicted. However, Colin has a point here, I basically share his criticism. --Tremonist (talk) 14:03, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose To me neither the subject not the composition are featurable, and the right side is pretty distorted Poco2 19:46, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Not even the subject? It's a historical object of considerable craftmanship. What makes an unfeatureable subject for you? Diliff (talk) 19:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've no doubt that it is encyclopedically valuable but give more importance to the visual effect, and this subject is not really eye-catching or especially original to me Poco2 20:40, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

- Support I like (good) wide angle views, the distortions are not really disturbing here. Very high quality and nice composition. --Wladyslaw (talk) 10:29, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
