Oppose sorry. The photo deserves to be QI as it is a solid shot. But this centred composition and all those trees in front of the the church are reasons for me to oppose. Also the trees hanging from the left into the pic are distracting. --AngMoKio (talk) 23:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A centered (or symmetrical) composition is certainly not always a good and valuable reason for opposing. Sometimes it's simply the best way to show a subject, as it is here the case IMO. BTW, the 'distracting' trees at the left are adding some tension to the picture, which make it just less symmetric. After all, the trees are really there, so why do you want to remove them or at least to clone them out of the picture? In our quest to make clean and beautiful pictures, we are more and more violating the reality... and the truth. -- MJJR (talk) 20:22, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahm...where did I say to clone them away?! All I want to say is that certain conditions require certain compositions. And this composition doesn't convince me, although it is in general a nice shot - it is just not a FP for me. Btw the other shot where the trees have flowers/leafes is much nicer as this way the trees fit much better into the composition (unfortunatelly the colours are a bit strange there) --AngMoKio (talk) 08:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support but next time please do cut off all the trees before taken the image. :) --Mbz1 (talk) 00:50, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Info Ok. ;-) For this photograph I waited for the time when there are not so much leaves. In summer it looks like this:

Oppose solid shot, probably QI, but nothing mind-boggling. Technical aspects are ok (slight noise in the shadows, resolution is standard), composition seems driven by necessity. --Dschwen (talk) 01:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Missing wow (summarizing other opposes?). Lycaon (talk) 09:00, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
