Question What’s that terracing in the foreground, taking up 60 percent of the frame? For a picture of a church building, I’d like to see more of the building. --Kreuzschnabel 14:25, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- First of all, thank you for your interest. To clarify, it's not a picture of just the church building, in that case I would have put up an image (or a close-up) of only the building itself. The intention here was to show the church in the context of its surroundings by using a low-angle composition and framing. This image presents the point-of-a view of a little kid who is standing on the base of the steps and looking up to take all the steps that lead up to the church. The church is located at an elevated level. The foreground is worn out steps covered with dry grass and leaves and convey the feeling of deserted and lonely surrounding of the church and they are very much integral part of the photo to establish the mood and lead the viewer to the church which is at the end of the steps. I hope this explains my idea as I captured it. -- Dey.sandip (talk) 08:26, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- It works in those terms. I'm sort of
Neutral about whether that makes it a deserving FP, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment - I'm tempted to oppose, unless there's a good explanation of how unusual or important those terraces are. I give you credit for trying a non-traditional composition, which I think is a good thing to try, but I lean against this being a really good and featurable composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your interest. I have tried to explain my intention/idea above, if that helps. -- Dey.sandip (talk) 08:26, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Interesting but not featurable. Daniel Case (talk) 05:20, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
