- Support beautiful composition. You'll have to let know when you hunt churches around Torcy. Must see you in action (You might not want to give your tricks away though ;) ).- Benh (talk) 18:27, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think you know most of my tricks anyway! They're no secrets. It would be nice to finally meet you though. Is that your home town? Interesting to read about the demographics. I know you're not Vietnamese - Laotian, right? I haven't spent a lot of time outside of Paris except in Picardy where my wife's family is from, but there's so much more of the country to see, so I'd be happy to make a trip in that direction. I'll let you know. Diliff (talk) 20:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Another boring church interior picture with overexposed top and mesh of objects in center. --Kikos (talk) 08:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- What is a 'mesh of objects in center'? It's an altar, that's just how they look. If you find church interiors boring, maybe it's best to abstain from voting on them. I know it's hard to separate personal interests from your votes, but we should try not to let our prejudices affect us. This is one of the first gothic churches in the world (actually it's the third oldest, after St Denis Basilica and Noyon Cathedral), so you might find it boring but it's extremely important in Gothic architecture. As for the window, it's overexposed because it's extremely bright compared to the rest of the church, and there is a flare of light around it. It's an HDR image, but there's only so much you can do to rescue such bright highlights without making it look very unrealistic. Would you prefer unrealistic or would you prefer overexposed? Sometimes they're your only options. Diliff (talk) 10:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Finding church interiors boring is no valid reason for an oppose. We're looking for high quality pictures with high educational value. There's no doubt that this picture has both. Diliff is right: If you don't like churches you should abstain from voting. --Code (talk) 15:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thank You both for a educational response! Why boring? Because I can't see altar (low viewpoint), I can't see and evaluate church interior (too many flags), I can't see ceremony (no people). In case if I dont like picture so much, I can't abstain, sorry. --Kikos (talk) 18:17, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- But it only takes common sense to realize it's much more difficult to get a higher point of view (I don't think Diliff caries scaffoldings with him ;) ), that the sheet must be there for some reason (I don't know but I'm not christian) and that no people are also not distraction (which is good in architecture photography). You may not like it, but it's not a fault, and this is among the very best we have in stock... If I don't like insects, I won't oppose all macro shots... but yes, your decision. - Benh (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly, this isn't a low viewpoint, it's an normal view of the altar from normal head height. It is what a visitor would typically see, and it's simply not intended to be viewed from above. Yes, the cloths/flags are there for a reason (but I don't know exactly why either). It might simply be for decoration, but I've seen it in many other churches, particularly in Lithuania.

- Comment and Info : "Gold" and "silver" are liturgical colors for the "happy times" of the christian year. This is for Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Christ, celebrated One week before this pic was taken. Firthermore, Yellow and white are the pontifical colors (flag of the Pope).--Jebulon (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
