  •  Oppose These shots are always very hard to control from an exposure point of view, if you 'only' make a single shot as here. Although nice, I think too many details are lost in the most brightly illuminated areas. Diliff has recently made an impressive display of what is possible for these church/cathedral interiors by combining different exposures. I consider his work as being at a completely outstanding level, and not the new baseline for FP. Still, I think the gap is a little too large quality-wise. Sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 17:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I think the largest problem for me is the composition. It feels unbalanced due to the seating being cropped. Well, I'd be the first to say that you shouldn't have to do what I do to get a FP, but my methodology provides a lot more flexibility which I often appreciate when I get home and process the images. I can get a wider angle view than is normally possible with a lens, and later on, if I feel the view is too wide, I can crop it a bit without feeling like I'm losing precious detail by doing so. And of course with multiple exposures, there is no worry that detail has been lost due to overexposure. But actually in this image, I think it could have been underexposed by 1/2 a stop or maybe more without losing any detail in the shadows. Diliff (talk) 18:18, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Sorry, I also think that the composition is very narrow at the bottom, making the photo feel unbalanced. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 21:01, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I have the same feeling as Slaunger. IMO the focal point is not at the good place, the pic is a bit too soft, not sharp at edges and yes, I've had reduced the exposure a bit too. The cropped seating is not a problem for me here. I've noticed that there are often no chairs in anglican cathedrals, but they are almost always chairs in the catholic. So, seating is often problematic in composition. But, like Slaunger, I think we should not consider Diliff's work as the "church interiors bar" :) !--Jebulon (talk) 16:05, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, that's something I've also noticed too. Anglican cathedrals have removable chairs, almost never permanent seating. But if I'm honest, my belief is that it's because Anglican cathedrals are more of a multi-purpose historical location and less of an active place of worship (of course there is still a religious aspect, but just less so. I really get a very different feeling when I visit the Catholic churches and cathedrals. There are fewer tourists, and more 'believers'. I'm not sure if it's the same in other countries. Maybe that's just because of the philosophical/theological differences between Protestantism and Catholicism and the purpose of a church/cathedral? Not sure.

      • I forgot to say also that permanent seating shouldn't mean that it's ok to cut them out of the image though. That was my original point but I got a bit distracted. ;-) I think actually it should be more important to include the seating if it is an architecturally relevant part of the church.
