•  Info Winter view Färila parish church in Färila, Sweden. The church was built 1781 - 1783. I like the subtle winter light, and that the last rays of sunshine light up the church tower.Created, uploaded and nominated by -- ArildV (talk) 20:31, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Shooting at tall subject bellow its ground level is bad idea. So you had to evaluate tower to such shape it look very unnatural. Also composition could be more from left, still some trees are between subject and viewer. Trees could be more in focus. f/4 on FF for panorama is way too big diaphragma. --Mile (talk) 17:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
  •  Comment Sorry Mile, but I disagree. The architects chose to build the church on a hill (it is impossible to avoid), the church is surrounded by trees (the composition is chosen to avoid the trees obscuring the church). The photo was taken with an old-fashioned prime lens (Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AI-s) with huge DOF, and very sharp even wide open. In other words, F/4 is enough and everything from a few meters away to infinity is in focus and sharp. In my experience this lens outperforms Nikon's pro 24-70 F/2.8 zoom lens (which for example, has a poor corner sharpness, even stopped down. Not to mention more heavy, expensive, and much more distortion ).--ArildV (talk) 22:01, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
