  • Oppose - I want to support this one, as I feel nighttime photos are sometimes overlooked here, but I can't for this one. There is significant noise where the structures meet the night sky. I can't say exactly what it's from—if it was done in post-processing or not, but this fringe of noise, which doesn't extend into the deep sky is too distracting. Yes, I'm aware that this is a FP on Commons. -- Veggies (talk) 02:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a bit compressed vertically, the clocks on either side are oval. The image is used in a gallery (not strong EV). For this church I think a daytime photo would be better (similar to the infobox photo but without excessive shadows). Bammesk (talk) 01:19, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right, Bammesk, I didn't realize that, it's fix now. Regarding taking the shot during the day, well, yes, during the day you will have shadows, but also lots of people. The church is very visited among tourists and also to have a good perspective you need to be far from this but subject including potentially even more people in your shot. --Poco2 20:35, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
