•  Comment I'm on the fence about this one. On one hand, it's a striking image that caught my attention. I hadn't heard of this place before, so wasn't sure if this was a unique moment (a flood, for example) or whether the building is just always submerged (the latter appears to be true). Certainly different from the typical church exterior shots we get. :) Technically, there are shortcomings. Beyond the pixel peeping stuff like the CA on the steeple, the composition feels too heavy on the right and too empty on the bottom. All in all, I still find myself neutral for the time being... — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:45, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Support I actually like this a lot, obviously for the WoW factor, but also for the smaller details like the clouds and the texture of the water. --Kritzolina (talk) 05:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Support, good composition and striking image. (Parenthetically, we're going to have to get used to these kinds of photos in this age of global warming, even though that's not what caused this flooding.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose I'm sorry but for me the fact of the building being partially submerged does not give it enough wow. Maybe with less dull light it might work. Daniel Case (talk) 02:32, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Just as a counterpoint, I felt like the somber light helped produce an appropriate mood for the subject. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:49, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Good points have been made pro and contra, I am undecided. — I have tried to edit the photo a little bit to remove the most prominent CAs and to give it a touch of more light; you can take a look at the result, if you want. Is it better? --Aristeas (talk) 09:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Here are some pictures of the same church in summer and winter when it's not submerged. The submergence is caused by the increased water level of Mavrovo Lake as a result of the snowmelt from the surrounding mountains during spring.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:00, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose Dull, noisy, colours look oversaturated (e.g. in the roofing tiles), and I think a crop with less empty foreground (suggestion added to nomination page) would be much more impressive. --Kreuzschnabel 08:08, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
