•  Info Simple composition maybe but I really like it and find it striking enough to feature. The west tower of the church is from 1748 but the nave is a brick-built, rounded arch design built in 1857 in the style of the Schinkel school. This kind of architecture aimed at producing functional, efficient, scientifically designed public buildings that were nonetheless attractive. It was critically disdained at the time and many examples have been destroyed, but it is now regarded as a distinctive and valuable tradition that was an important precursor to architectural modernism. created by J.-H.

•  Abstain per below discussion with Basile Morin. I'll let the FPC community decide which version of this picture to promote, seeing that it seems clear that some version will pass. Cmao20 (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support It was certainly not easy to find a working composition with these trees, the lamp post and the background elements which can easily disturb the image of the church, so this is an achievement. --Aristeas (talk) 15:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support But please correct the tilt --Llez (talk) 09:55, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose until the tilt is fixed -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

• J.-H. Janßen I see that you have specified that you would prefer to make fixes to your images because you would prefer to work from the original RAW data. If you are currently around on Commons, please could you perhaps find the time to have a look at the tilt issue Basile Morin mentions as an obstacle to this photo gaining 'Featured Picture' status? I think a tiny perspective correction may be the solution. All best wishes, Cmao20 (talk) 16:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

• I think that it rather lacks a perspective correction Poco a poco (talk) 20:28, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

• Yeah, that's what I meant. It's only the right part, not the whole image -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
• It looks like the author is currently not available. A derivative version with perspective fixed has been uploaded: File:Gross Leuthen Dorfkirche 14 - edited.jpg. I will later propose a {{Delist and replace}} nomination if the first one is promoted here -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks, but I'm not entirely convinced it's an improvement. It has made the lamppost on the left lean a lot more and I think it's now leaning out slightly on the right. However, since this nomination has four days still to go, I will save you the bother of creating a delist and replace by adding an alternative and pinging all voters. And I'll stay neutral on both images so that the community can judge which one they prefer. Cmao20 (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks, Cmao20, the lamp post seems to be leaning in reality, see for example on this picture. The walls and the pillars on the left are vertical, only the street lamp is tilted. Thus I think the version below is fair -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Alternative version

•  Abstain This is an edited version by Basile Morin as an attempt to correct the perspective. I am honestly uncertain which one is better, I think it may show how difficult it is to get all the verticals perfectly straight in an image like this. I will abstain from voting on either version and allow the community to work out which one it thinks is superior. Cmao20 (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• @Ermell, ArionStar, Agnes Monkelbaan, Phoenix CZE, Aristeas, and Basile Morin: @Jay.Jarosz, Mosbatho, Llez, Poco a poco, and Famberhorst: notifying everyone who voted or commented on this photo. And thank you Basile for helping to try to improve this nomination. Cmao20 (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Looks like this is the direction consensus is heading. Cmao20 (talk) 22:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Thank you very much, Basile, for the editing and you, Cmao20, for the transparent way to choose from the versions! As Cmao20 said, it is impossible to get all vertical lines straight, some of them must be leaning in reality. After carefully assessing the verticals, I think Basile’s version is nearer to reality. --Aristeas (talk) 14:31, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
•  Support The lamp post seems to be leaning in reality. So this perspective is correct in my opinion. Nice light. Thanks for the alternative -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose -- Architectural shots with 100 per cent parallel verticals contradict my visual perception. - Je-str (talk) 11:20, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
•  Info @Je-str, in architecture 99.9 per cent of the buildings on Earth have vertical walls. So all the cameras capture them parallel when facing the horizon. Moreover, we are supposed at FPC to comply with the official Quality Image requirements: Distortions: "Images of architecture should usually be rectilinear". You may not like this rule, but in this case it is quite an objective requirement. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
