Nave and Ceiling of the Cathedral Ste Cécile in Albi, France
  •  Info HDR interior of Albi's cathedral in France. It is said to be a very simple cathedral without lots of details and ornaments in order to convinced the unfaithfuls. — (c/u/n) all by PierreSelim -- PierreSelim (talk) 14:26, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment ccw tilt and underexposure should be fixed at least. On a personal taste, The perspective is quite interesting, but I would try to fix verticals, and crop most of the top if necessary. The star here is the rood screen, I wouldn't take the viewer's eyes away from it. (message personnel, si tu as une photo haute résolution prise du même endroit, de la partie inférieure gauche, je suis très intéressé pour boucher un trou d'un panorama que j'ai pris de ce même Jubé il y a 6 ans ! Je n'ai rien trouvé sur Gogole... ) - Benh (talk) 14:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Happy to support if some the technical considerations above are addressed, and on this occasion certainly the tilt. Metadata doesn't indicate any digital processing at all. It could benefit from some. Not sure I would want to see the top cropped. That's one of the most interesting thing about the image, which is generally extremely fine I think and should meet the criteria if some work is done on it. -- Coat of Many Colours 16:08, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment Just to share that in case some people don't know, this is one of the very few rood screens which have survived to the present days. It's very well preserved and is full of fine details. That's why I mention it should be the star here. But you are also right about the ceiling, it's quite striking as well and also deserve to get a prominent part on a picture. - Benh (talk) 11:30, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Agree tilt needs fixing. It is hard to tell if underexposed since I wasn't there, but I guess most people would prefer a brighter picture just to see the wood/ceiling in more detail. If the raw file is available then some adjustment with e.g. Lightroom might bring out the best of the image. Also if raw file available, then please save as sRGB since AdobeRGB is not suitable for internet JPGs (and not a good choice for JPG at all, frankly). If you just have the JPG then please change your camera settings to save as sRGB in future. I disagree with the suggestion to correct verticals: if n quality image of the rood screen was to be created, one wouldn't have pointed the camera at the ceiling. I'm sure that screen would make a fantastic picture, but that's not this picture. -- Colin (talk) 11:33, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does make a fantastic picture ;) but my mosaic of it has a tiny hole that I've tried to fill from findings on Google... but nothing so far ! - Benh (talk) 11:48, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I'll redo the post-processing, hopefully before the world cup final. Thanks for the advice Colin, Benh and Coat of Many Colours. --PierreSelim (talk) 12:01, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the picture, with a small rotation, a change in the colours profile and also I've tried to retrieve more details from the shadow parts. --PierreSelim (talk) 08:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
