•  Info This was taken from the organ loft, which is normally not open to the public. I was fortunate enough to attend a talk by Stanford organist Robert Huw Morgan as part of college reunion, and captured this shot at the end of the lecture.

•  Neutral Hight quality and details, good gold light very lovely, however, ghosts problem and people distracting. If the ghost is removed I will change my vote to support Wilfredor (talk) 04:11, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Unusual enough church interior to work for me, and it's really quite rare in churches to get access to the gallery. --A.Savin 04:13, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Striking view and HDR well done in my view. It's very rare that I vote on a church's interior (pro or against) but this picture is special for me. The angle is excellent, the red carpet appealing, and the design of the lamps reminds me Art Nouveau -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:54, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
•  Support per A.Savin and Basile. --Aristeas (talk) 09:38, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment The altar is very bright, did it look like this for real? Poco a poco (talk) 13:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

  @Poco a poco: The sun is shining right into the window, so yes, it is very bright. Most of my HDRs require only 3 exposures (± 2), this one actually required 5 (± 4). I experimented with even more highlight recovery, but doing that dulls the colors to the point where it doesn't represent the reality of how bright the window was. So I went with the brightest possible setting where the details of the stained-glass windows are still preserved. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:20, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

• Ok, thanks, it would have then probably been better to take the shots later but fine  Support Poco a poco (talk) 17:43, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Good photo and as you point out has uniqueness value. I am a bit bothered by the highlights but if this is the best compromise I trust your judgment. Cmao20 (talk) 07:57, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
