•  Info Rural church of Kalfatjörn, Vatnsleysa County, Suðurnes, Iceland. Kalfatjön, a former farm and parsonage (until 1907), is today church. It was built in 1892-93, consecrated on June 11th 1893 and dedicated to St Peter (during catholic times). It was built of wood and covered with corrugated iron on stone foundations, and has seats for 150 persons. All by me, Poco² 08:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - Yes. I had this on my short list to nominate soon. So different from the Peruvian panorama I nominated above, these are wide open spaces, the deceptive serenity of a volcanic island, and a beautiful rural church. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment Much as I like wider aspect for landscape, I wonder if this is too wide and the left/right edges not adding much. A 3:2 crop with a little off the top/bottom too, with the church around the rule-of-thirds mark, makes a stronger image imo. I like the scene, though it has a lot of noise that I think comes from sharping - perhaps the image was a little soft and under-exposed to begin with. Don't know if it could be processed better. -- Colin (talk) 09:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too much grain (noise?) for me; especially visible on the church wall and on the left side of the image. I quite like the difference in colours, though, which is what you get when you leave in this much landscape.--Peulle (talk) 17:25, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
• @Ikan Kekek, Colin, and Peulle: I've uploaded a new version with a new crop and adjustments in sharpening/denoising --Poco² 19:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
  • It is a bit less noisiy. But I don't see the point in cropping the right but not the left. The crop is unbalanced now, and I prefer the original to this, but still think crop suggestion above is a bit stronger. It's your pic, though. -- Colin (talk) 20:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment - I'm OK with this change. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:32, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - A bit noisy but a strong picture, almost Hopper-ish. --Pugilist (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Peulle, even after denoising. I also find the whole image somewhat flat and static. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support After denoising and latest crop. The church was a bit awkwardly positioned at first. Manelolo (talk) 17:23, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Poco² 20:48, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
