- Info Just a rural, southern German church upon a hill... Well, not exactly: the Wieskirche, an UNESCO World Heritage Site , was designed in the late 1740s and is considered a major example of Bavarian rococo church architecture. Pilgrims have been visiting the shrine for more than 250 years - masses of tourists have been joining them for at least 50 years. So this place tends to be a bit crowded... When composing the image, I hoped to depict the scene the way visitors expect it to look like - not the way it actually looks like most of the time. So in this picture, the Wieskirche is just a peaceful, bucolic, but also serene chapel. All by me, --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:11, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment- Too much grass. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 18:21, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree. I'd suggest trying a crop of a little less than 1/2 of the grass in the foreground. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose A beautiful place, but the vertical composition just doesn't work for me. Too much grass per above. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:06, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but the crop does not work for me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:40, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose per Uoaei1.--Ermell (talk) 07:16, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
- Mild Support - For whatever reason, I'm not feeling greatly wowed by this, but I think it works in doing what you want it to do and is a high-quality and fairly relaxing picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:17, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Despite the crop, the compo doesn't work for me. For some unfathomable reason the whole scene seems squeezed together towards the middle. Sorry. --cart-Talk 09:10, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination I guess you're right. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
