Oppose Sorry have to do this to a Diliff, but the scene is just too stretched and contorted, plus the shadows are so lifted/reduced that it has lost the 3-dimensional feeling and looks more like a print from a story book. There is nothing wrong with having a bit of depth in such a photo. --Cart (talk) 14:04, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- @W.carter: This interior is illuminated very well by the windows. Shadows were not removed as you can see them at the left corner and on the floor. -- Pofka (talk) 20:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Pofka: Well, if no shadows were lifted, then I'd say it is photographed at the wrong time of day, giving the sun too much access to all the parts of the church. I know that most photographer usually want to get everything as well lit as possible, but in doing so you sometimes lose the effect of depth and drama in an image. These two photos are a very good example of this: sunlight and shadow. The photos are taken handheld from the same place at roughly the same angle. They have been post-processed in exactly the same way. The first is well lit with sunlight everywhere, like the church here. You can see every part of the rocks in great detail, but it's flat and uninteresting. In the second photo, the shadow of a cloud passed over the quarry, dulling the cliffs in the background, but in this photo you can clearly distinguish the cliffs from each other and you get a sense of depth in the photo. I'm not asking for anything so extreme here, but some gradient in the light would have saved this from looking as flat as it does now. Sorry. --Cart (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

- Oppose per Cart, plus the crepuscular rays in the dome really don't work like this. Daniel Case (talk) 04:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment - I kind of like the sunlight and I'm tempted to support, but either way, everyone should please note that there's already one FP of this church, which Mr. Iliff himself nominated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:01, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks Ikan, that photo has all the shadows and depth I was looking for. --Cart (talk) 09:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support - FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:57, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cart, and also quite similar to the existing FP.--Peulle (talk) 10:18, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
