Oppose. Du fait des blancs. Thierry Caro 21:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Kunt u daar wat meer uitleg over geven? Lycaon 21:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, too much of the boring steps for my liking, and the shadows are also rather noisy. --MichaelMaggs 06:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose sorry I know it is hard work to stitch that. But it really is the typical shot of that church. I know the square in front of that church makes it difficult to get a better view on the church as it is sloping and those stairs are also not helpful.... Maybe one day someone will upload a picture of that church made out of a building opposite to the church. --AngMoKio 07:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree and I don't agree:). Yes it it is a typical view bottom up. But what makes it different is that this is the only angle where no lighting poles or fountain are obscuring part of the building (as also taken here). The opposite buildings are quite low an I don't think they are readily accessible (small shops, a few restaurants, if I remember right). I hope someone who lives there, one day obtains a reasonable digital camera, takes a good shot and posts it on Commons (or is this too long a shot...). ;-). I do acknowledge your critics however.

Support Anyway really good resolution and value. But some improve on noise and sharpness can be so good. --Beyond silence 08:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Support impressive.. why is exif missing?? --Jeses 10:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose - I was so sure I was going to support this picture! I like the composition, including the stairs and people seated. But then I realized it is too noisy, both the sky and the shadowed parts of the building. I'm pretty sure it can be fixed though. Alvesgaspar 11:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I try to fix that Joaquim, and for Jeses I'll 'construct' an exif (the image is a composite from 22 images). Lycaon 11:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose Unacceptable noise in shadows, lack of detail in white (burned out), too much unnecessary foreground, distracting block, people, artifacts. Otherwise a very nice image. Too bad these flaws interfere with a well composed, well exposed picture and relevant building. Sorry, try Quality images first :o).--Tomascastelazo 19:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment Didn't I see a policy somewhere that sarcastic votes were considered as jokes and thus invalid? Lycaon 21:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Question Which is the sarcastic vote? The oposing votes basicaly agree on the same defects... ;o) --Tomascastelazo 22:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Support If this picture will printed out as a photo i guarante you there will be no noise visible. This contraproductive noise discussion will result (like we have already) that everybody will go to 2k. This is a great picture from a great photographer --Richard Bartz 22:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Support Defines its subject in a very artistic and nice manner... and a lovely composition for sure. - Noumenon talk 16:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Support I remember I wanted to nominate this one !! arg sorry to have forgotten :) I do support despite the noise (the picture is large enough to mitigate). High quality stitching, and I like the building. Benh 17:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Support Nice 39 Mpix-equivalent picture. Great stiching job. If somebody would have access to a Hasselblad H3D 39, we could compare ;-) - Alberto Fernandez Fernandez 15:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hopefully not as the Hasselblad use special cooling to do away with noise... ;-)). Lycaon 22:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Support Phenomenal. Doodle-doo Ħ 22:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Support A month ago I voted this picture for an QI. I think this picture is good enough to earn a FP stamp also. I quote my text from the QI candidates discussion: "Finally, a decent image of one of Helsinki's finest buildings. Lycaon has done good job stitching the 22 photos together." --Siipikarja 20:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
result: 11 support, 5 oppose, 0 neutral => featured. -- Lycaon 17:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
