Interior of the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard in Vilnius, Lithuania.
  • @A.Savin: No it is not one of the best Diliff's interiors because all of them are already FPs. But his images quality is so high that even his mediocre pictures can easily compete with other authors pictures, therefore I think it is unfair to compare it with the Diliff's works only. This church windows are mostly transparent and are not fully covered with the stained glasses (good illustration of that even if these are not the same windows as seen in this interior photo), the day was obviously very sunny and so the light shines into the interior, however all the windows constructions are fully visible and are not blown out, so I think it is balanced. Other Diliff's interiors also includes light rays. Donations box is not a trash bin, so it does not disturb me - donations boxes are an integral part of the churches. -- Pofka (talk) 16:59, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support Not IMO one of Diliff's stronger church interiors. I don't have it on my list of Diliff images to eventually get round to nominating, owing in large part to A. Savin's first criticism about the donation box, but also because of the distortion of the top lamp. The blown windows don't bother me especially as I usually prefer that bright white highlights are left that way instead of being artificially pulled back so they look grey-ish. So overall Diliff has done much stronger images; but ultimately, we are judging this based on whether it's amongst the best church interiors on Commons, not the best church interiors in Diliff's output. This image is not perfect, but it's very sharp as typical for Diliff's work, and depicts an important exemplar of Lithuanian Gothic architecture. Compared to this, a church interior which passed FP only last year, the image quality and sharpness are clearly superior. Based on those standards, I still do think this counts as one of the best images on Commons, so it should be FP for me; but it's not as clear-cut as most Diliff church interiors.

  • @Cmao20: Indeed. We must compare it with all the Commons pictures and not only with the Diliff's pictures. This church is one of the primary Gothic landmarks of Lithuania, so it is a very prominent object and this interior picture of it is easily the best one available in the Commons. Even in your provided Dillif's picture blue windows have that whitish effect and this Lithuanian one has a completely transparent glass windows, so the effect is slightly stronger, but is balanced and not blown out. -- Pofka (talk) 17:07, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
