- Comment Why does the image have a disturbing distorted appearance? This is a Diliff, so i could very well be mistaken.--Fotoriety (talk) 00:28, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's not completely symmetrical, as you can see by the step from the nave to the choir/altar. I'm not sure if that's what you're seeing though, or if it's something else. Many of my interior photography is very wide angle, which exaggerates any asymmetry. Diliff (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- To me, it just seems that the right half of the photo appears stretched e.g. compare the left and right side ceiling lines, top and bottom foreground statues and paintings.Fotoriety (talk) 23:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- As I said, it's the asymmetry causing this. It is not the same on both sides, so you can't compare the shape, size and location of equivalent objects on either side. The camera is positioned exactly in line with the central checkerboard squares of the aisle. That is the true centre of the sanctuary. The fact that the statues and pillars are not aligned on both sides is because they are not in equivalent positions, relative to the camera's centre of view. Hard to explain with words, but it's the asymmetry. It looks almost symmetrical, but the reality is that it's just not, and wide angle views exaggerate any asymmetry.

- That's fine Diliff, i fully understand the asymmetry thing. Perhaps if you had taken the photo a little further behind the asymmetry would have been less pronounced and the image would have been more aesthetically pleasing...Not that 100% of voters seem to mind. :) .Fotoriety (talk) 00:13, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
