- Weak oppose Ambitious, but too much of it is unsharp. Daniel Case (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral Nice shot! It's really impressive, but unfortunately the quality is not as good as FP. The color patterns of the windows are not visible properly, as is the altar. --IamMM (talk) 06:11, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose I reluctantly agree with the others - absolutely beautiful, but not an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:19, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Very good framing, would be absolutely beautiful … Could you repeat this shot with a tripod, or is no tripod allowed in that church? It could also help to focus just a bit nearer, loosing a little bit sharpness on the altar, but gaining much sharpness in the middle ground. --Aristeas (talk) 18:04, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- It is not possible, some churches in Quebec do not give permission to take photos with a tripod. I asked the parish priest and the archdioses for permission to no avail. It is the best take I could do, I could have uploaded a downsized version but I preferred to upload a full size version. Thanks for your question and comments --Wilfredor (talk) 01:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry, it’s a pity! Yes, sometimes the Church people are very helpful (once a sexton even asked me if she should turn on additional lighting which is normally used only for Xmas ;–), and sometimes they have absolutely no understanding; sometimes asking for permission works, sometimes it fails … In the case of this beautiful church that is especially regrettable. --Aristeas (talk) 08:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- I used a well-written letter format and sent it to many religious organizations. The most beautiful churches answered no, unfortunately, since they had their own photographer. It was difficult to explain that the photos had to be licensed for commercial use. It is very unfortunate that I cannot use a tripod. I also had very positive experiences in which they left me with full access to the Lights panel, I spent a whole day in the Church taking photos, but as I said they are not the most beautiful --Wilfredor (talk) 00:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support viewing at 100% size does make it look a bit blurry, but the very high number of pixels in the image plus tripod restrictions makes this minor limitation easy to forgive. Buidhe (talk) 07:22, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
