•  Info This is just one in a series of photos I took of the ceiling of the Basílica de San Francisco el Grande, Madrid (here). It was painted in the last decade of the 19th centurt by José Marcelo Contreras. It is a gorgeous subject and I suggest the reviewers to first appreciate its geometry and detail before focusing on the obvious photographic shortcomings. Most will notice that all these photos were taken near the limit of what is possible with the present technology, considering the obligation of handling the camera and the poor light conditions inside the cathedral. Without a top quality camera it wouldn't have been possible to use such high ISO settings and still obtain so much detail. After the failure of this nomination, which I consider better than the present one, I hesitated a lot before coming here and face this forum again. Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:21, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Très joli, je vais m'abstenir de faire l'inventaire des petits défauts insignifiants que j'ai pu voir :) -- Christian Ferrer ^Talk 13:35, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Pas insignifiants mais presque inévitables! Merci, c'est bon d'avoir l'appui d'un critique difficile! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Neutral It's true that the details are great. Unfortunately, the sides are cut and the upper part is spoiled by the reflections. This make it hard to really appreciate the subject itself (which looks really worth it). - Benh (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

  •  Info -- Thank you The Photographer, the Ca was corrected by cloning and the reflections partially minimized. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:01, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 Comment There are chromatic aberration filter fix in Lightroom and Darktable (if you like free software) and you cant repare almost any CA in image only with a click, work better with RAW file --The Photographer (talk) 13:30, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination -- OK guys, I got the message (please let me know when I may come back). Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:28, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

This is to certify that Alvesgaspar is licensed for life to come back to FPC whenever he wants to. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 13:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC) We all had or still have to learn that others don’t always have the same opinion about our work than we have ourselves :-)

Thanks for your permission, Kreuzschnabel :). But I don't think you understood my point correctly. Not only have I always been humble about the merits of my own work but also have respected equally the reviews of both newbies and vets. That is easy to check on many of my nominations from 2006 on. The most valuable thing we can get from FPC is the feedback from our peers, not the stars. Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:29, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

• So what message did you take away from this nom? It isn't seem obvious to me. Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I also never understand those withdrawals just few hours before the regular voting deadline. Ignorable POINTy timewasting, I would say. --A.Savin 19:29, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
