Info Interior of the subsidiary church Pesenbach, Upper Austria. All by me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Comment - So far, I haven't figured out how I feel about this photo. Beautiful altar and some other nice details, but most of the church is in shadow. Would anyone like to comment about this and maybe teach me something? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:02, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Ikan Kekek: What you describe so clearly makes this church interesting for me. Austrian churches tend to be overloaded by altars, paintings, etc., mostly of doubtful quality. This church is different, and I like the very special atmosphere there. A church in a little village, unknown to most people, no tourists. I have spent there about two hours, just this excellent altar, my camera, and me. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:59, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- I understand. I will live with the photo longer and see if the magic strikes me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Very nice and high quality work especially the excellent light management in the altar area. But most of the picture is dominated by the quite uninteresting cross vault.The altar on its own would be a FP for me.--Ermell (talk) 06:50, 11 August 2017 (UTC)- Support The majority of rural churches in Austria (or Bavaria) were built in the 14th or 15th century, i.e. they are essentially gothic. Many people don't realize that since most church interiors were significantly changed during the baroque period. So it's actually rather challenging to find good examples of, more or less, "unaltered" (I know the term might be misleading) rural gothic parish churches. This image here is a great example and technically well executed. We should appreciate that, the photo is very valuable. From a purely aesthetic perspective I really do prefer baroque decorations, but that's not very NPOV... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:10, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I think the image would be strengthens by cropping off some ceiling e.g. to 16:9 or even slightly wider. The ceiling repeats so not really losing much information and then the arches along the sides become more dominant pattern. -- Colin (talk) 16:28, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Colin: I tried a tighter crop as you proposed, but I like the image much more as it is. So I decided to keep it uncropped. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - I feel like I've given this photo a chance, and all that shadow doesn't do it for me for an FP. To me, it makes the photo interesting, and I understand why it was a pleasant experience, but the shadows don't help make it impressive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:36, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Ikan Kekek: I appreciate your considerations anyway. I tried to crop the upper part of the image, but for me this would not be an improvement. --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it would be, either. I don't feel that the composition, apart from the light, is a problem. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:33, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
- Support per Martin. This is the interior as it was originally designed, and having a good-quality picture of an intact gothic church interior is significant enough to me. Daniel Case (talk) 16:18, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
