  •  Oppose -- The can on the steps, noise in the shadows, soft in areas, not convinced about the colour balance as the grass is a rather vivid lime green. The girl reading the book is a lovely touch though. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:16, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose File:Keble College Chapel - Oct 2006.jpg has better composition. Taking it straight-on is less interesting imo. The softness I can forgive given that this is a 56MP image and if I downsize to 75% with a little sharpening, it looks very crisp and still 31MP. The lighting is a little too bright imo. Btw, I don't think your edit to the picture did it any improvement. There was no CA to begin with that I could see (certainly not enough to justify setting Lightroom's defringe to 3 pixels. Also the new version has JPG gnats whereas the old one was clear -- did you open the JPG in Lightroom or save it with lesser quality? I see the old one was AdobeRGB which I don't consider appropriate choice for web photos, but if you aren't working from the RAW file then I don't support converting a AdobeRGB JPG to an sRGB JPG -- that just loses colour fidelity as there aren't enough bits to play with. -- Colin (talk) 22:02, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Colin-I do appreciate your comments and they make me realize how much I still need to learn about the more technical side of digital photography. The original files (from this camera) are .MOS which I save as .TIF as a working file. I only convert to .JPG at the end for uploading and "reduction" in overall file size. I opened the .TIF in Lightroom, but was unable to figure out how to export the file as a TIF when saved (it would only come out as a JPG). I am working with a new monitor (and a recently purchased updated version of Lightroom), so my hunt for CA may have been misguided. Do you feel that this image could become an FP or is it simply QI material? I understand your comment about the composition and that (at this point) isn't going to change. Thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 23:34, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Godot13, in my Lightroom 5, after you open the "Export" menu, if you scroll down there is a "File settings" menu where you can select TIFF from a drop-down menu (as well as the output quality, say 95 for JPG or whatever). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:40, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Amandajm (talk) 09:51, 30 April 2014 (UTC) I like the composition of this image. The fact that the building is side on, the view that is usually seen, but has its forms clearly defined by the shadows cast by the buttresses and other projections is good. The asymmetry of Neo-Gothic design is shown well, as is the polychrome.[reply]
