Support High resolution, well lit and thirteen gargoyles -- one of which is an Alien. -- Colin (talk) 17:50, 28 September 2013 (UTC)- Support Better lights than the north west view. Love to see the south west view too. (Here the third dimension of the slopped roof is missing; not a big issue though.) JKadavoor Jee 06:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm working on one from the south-east (which isn't as good as this), I don't have a south-west. The Abbey is more than just the main church building -- as a former monastery, the adjacent buildings, court and cloisters are all significant components, which are visible from this angle. I think the markings on the pavement of Abbey Close form nice leading lines towards the subject, and this angle suits a Panini projection (diagonal lines from a central perspective point). -- Colin (talk) 09:37, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Oppose It's just good, but not outstanding. Composition from north-west side is imo much better. Light conditions at this one are not the best, because sun was directly behind the photographer and that makes image flat (almost no shadows at the abbey). --Vamps (talk) 10:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- Well I can't please everyone it seems. -- Colin (talk) 12:02, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Comment I think it would look better with more crop on the right side. There isn't really much to see on that side, and the main subject on this version is much further left than at the "rule of thirds" division. darkweasel94 10:57, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- On the right is the the Anchor Mills building, a Grade A Listed building and important to Paisley's history. So I'd like to keep it. The subject is the entire Abbey complex, including St Mirrin's chapel and the Palace of Paisley, the memorial cross in the courtyard and the cloisters round it. The main tower is actually to the right of the "rule of thirds", should one care about such regulations. The symmetrical leading lines point towards the courtyard of the Abbey -- a symmetry that would be lost if the right is cropped. Colin (talk) 12:02, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
