Ripon Cathedral Organ
  •  Info created by Diliff - uploaded by Diliff - nominated by Diliff -- . The image is quite dark but I think this reflects the ambience of the interior of the cathedral and the dark wood used in the organ case's construction. It was built in 1878, almost entirely from scratch by T. C. Lewis of Brixton in London. Diliff (talk) 10:35, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment It leans to the left, or, somethime is good to mention its off-centre shot to make that clear. --Mile (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Like Mile - Image is slightly tilted to the left. D kuba (talk) 12:43, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Tilted and too dark, sorry. --Tremonist (talk) 13:55, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • The tilt has been corrected. Part of the problem is that I don't think the organ case is entirely symmetrical, so it looks like it is tilted when it's actually not. As for the darkness, the wood is genuinely dark. Dark wood when brightened looks a bit unrealistic, but I've brightened it up slightly. Your thoughts? Diliff (talk) 14:18, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Now, angle is ok, but you lighten image too much (colors was dark, but very good - captured the unique climate of interior of the church) - windows are overexposed now:/ D kuba (talk) 13:39, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral The windows are too bright and that becomes disturbing and the bottom crop is not convincing either, I created a note (feel free to remove it after having seen it) Poco2 17:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Neutral Have been looking at this one for a while and actually wanted to oppose because the camera it's pointing up too high, and that gives me neck ache by just looking at it... But quality is just too good. Couldn't you step backward? Also agree about the unfortunate windows. - Benh (talk) 18:48, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I could have stepped further back and usually I do that, but sometimes objects look more interesting from a more extreme angle and I thought this organ was one of those. I don't see the issue with the window though. It's overexposed because clear windows have no detail to show and appear bright and white in person, unlike coloured stained glass. I can reduce the exposure of them but dull grey windows generally look a bit fake and HDR'ish. Clear glass windows can only really look white (unless there is a deep blue sky outside).

      • Fair enough. And yes, I wouldn't darken windows either. They are what they are. One suggestion maybe : making the lines converging a little less? In any way I really wouldn't mind that this becomes FP. - Benh (talk) 14:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • I don't think it will become a FP, but no problem. I took some nice photos of some cathedral organs in Picardie a few days ago - Laon and Amiens (which I see you visited with your fisheye lens a few years ago!) - which I'm hoping will be a bit more successful.

  •  Oppose EV, but not one of your best ;o), let alone Commons. The extreme perspective and the crop at bottom do not work for me. You should try at COM:VI. Regards, Yann (talk) 22:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
