- Oppose. Quality not good enough. --Gnosis (talk) 04:08, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose The technical quality is not good enough, also the preast's arm obscures his face.--Peulle (talk) 06:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- But this picture is the worldwide winner of Wiki Loves Love 2019! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:1812:1432:8600:4966:eea4:e48d:6939 (talk • contribs)
- Oppose Agree with others. There is noise, and strong chromatic aberrations. The very bright highlights on the window and floor are unpleasant. But a nice idea for an FP. And no, having won a "Wiki Loves..." contest is by no means sufficient for a picture to become an FP. --A.Savin 12:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose I didn't know 'Wiki Loves Love' was a thing, but I'm glad this picture did well in it, as it's a beautiful photo with all the artwork and the rays of sunlight. But I agree with A. Savin; doing well in a 'Wiki Loves' contest is not a good predictor of what images will do well at FPC, and vice versa. Wiki Loves contests often seem to prioritise 'wow factor' over technical excellence, whereas FPC tends to be more exacting about image quality. Take the example of this, a dramatic photo that deservedly won 9th place in WLM 2018, but was (rightly) rejected at FPC. Cmao20 (talk) 17:41, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support The spectacle outweighs the quality issues. Per the guidelines, "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject". Striking and well composed, with the divine light coming through the window -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:59, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support I don't see an issue here. To me I get somewhat of a sense of divinity in the picture. --Boothsift 03:16, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose The scene and the compo is really good, I even like that the priest's face is partially hidden so he doesn't photo bomb the couple. But the technical quality is lower than it should/could be. For an FP you'd expect some basic post-processing and while the light through the window is great, it's unnecessary strong/harsh. I don't see this as falling under the "very difficult subject" category since weddings are probably held regularly in that church with the participants standing in exactly the same places looking lovely. --Cart (talk) 09:11, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others --Wilfredor (talk) 17:58, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support per Basile Morin. Bathed in divine light, the narrative shown in this Russian Orthodox marriage ceremony is very compelling and draws the viewer into the story that the walls suggest is part of centuries of culture. --GRDN711 (talk) 02:56, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Very regretful oppose/Очень опечаленный против A potentially beautiful image done in by the noise and other technical shortcomings. Daniel Case (talk) 05:19, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per others, particularly Cart. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:09, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others: quality and technical problems. -- Pofka (talk) 10:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
