•  Support Love the symmetry. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:06, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment High quality, but I prefer the existing daytime FP which has less of the distracting chairs in the foreground. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:20, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

  I don't believe that this is not a valid candidate because there is already a great shot of the basilica during the day, the subject looks in daylight completely different. I find that the arrangement of the chairs improves the composition a lot and I also find the lighting of the building in the night very appealing. Poco a poco (talk) 15:10, 19 December 2022 (UTC) PD: I've improved the highlights to recover more detail.

•  Oppose Terrible foreground of image. -- Karelj (talk) 22:17, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

• Karelj, be respectful! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I am extremely respectful, but I am not blind! -- Karelj (talk) 08:13, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

You are extremely tactful, too, right? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:11, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Sure. -- Karelj (talk) 08:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Support High quality and a definite “wow” photo. Taking a look at our other photos of that famous place shows that the foreground is almost always crowded or blocked. Therefore the existing FP has just cropped the foreground, but that looks unbalanced and in the end even worse to me. --Aristeas (talk) 09:49, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose It looks better to me. Oppose per George. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:56, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Very noisy sky and a strange horizontal line in the sky at the level of the cross. And also an unsuccessful foreground, unfortunately --George Chernilevsky ^talk 02:01, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose the sky could be fixed, but the foreground is a fly in the ointment. -- Ivar (talk) 06:12, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose the mentioned horizontal line, also looks titlted. No problem with the foreground --Lupe (talk) 12:01, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

• @George Chernilevsky, Ikan Kekek, and Lupe: I denoised the sky and removed the stripe. I couldn't determine any tilt, though, Lupe, could you add a note? Poco a poco (talk) 14:00, 21 December 2022 (UTC) FYI, too, Ivar

•  Comment The sky remains not excellent. Also as noted above, it looks tilted clockwise. Maybe still too much perspective correction, but the geometry is not too good, unfortunately. --George Chernilevsky ^talk 19:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

• @George Chernilevsky and Lupe: I've applied a slight tilt and improved the crop to increase symmetry. I also reworked the sky a bit, although I only see a difference increasing exposure not like this. Thank you! Poco a poco (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 Support okay, thank you --Lupe (talk) 15:27, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
