•  Oppose Perfectly fine but too small to be an FP in 2023. Compare the resolution of the church ceiling nominees that we have voted to feature in the last few years. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:12, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you for the reality check. I always appreciate your advice and perspective! --Nheyob (talk) 12:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Kudos for the composition – it is difficult to achieve a satisfying photo of such vaults from a slanted angle, you have found a beautiful solution. However this vault is so wonderful that (like Ikan) I would wish for more resolution. In addition I also see a problem with the level of details, sorry: at “only” 2,560 × 1,600 pixels I would expect the photo to be perfectly crisp, but it is a bit soft. Probably this results from the camera settings. The D5300 uses a 24 megapixels APS-C (“DX”) sensor, so using ƒ/22 is too much, diffraction eats the fine details. Even on my FF (“FX”) camera I avoid aperture values > ƒ/11, and in theory at 18mm focal length on a APS-C (“DX”) sensor ƒ/8 should give enough DoF to get most of the vault in focus while maintaining a high level of details. In addition using ƒ/8 should also make it easier to use the base ISO value (100, I guess) instead of ISO 400, this should further improve fine details. --Aristeas (talk) 08:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you for the encouragement & good advice! I'll keep this in mind for future projects. --Nheyob (talk) 12:28, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you! Well, it would be great if you could repeat that photo some day. This beautiful vault is certainly worth a FP. --Aristeas (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Ikan ... I kept thinking, well, I'd like to see this at higher resolution, but then realized I'd already clicked for that. Daniel Case (talk) 05:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
