  • Symmetry is of course impossible for the image on the right, seeing that the building is not symmetrical. But if that means it isn't FP in your view than that is fine. I included the image on the right because I like the view of the organ, I agree the one looking east is better but to me they both independently deserve the star.

  • For this kind of shot with a strong perspective effect guiding your eyes to the bottom of the image this does for me definitely play a role as there was symmetry there until you end up in that wall with the pipe organ off the center and the uninteresting wall.

  •  Support--Famberhorst (talk) 05:23, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree, left is fine, but right one has bad compo, should be croped much better, left both glary windows out, crop till column, and some in bottom. Works much better. --Mile (talk) 08:38, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose very interesting and complete document, and Diliff is a great master for a lot of us. Ok. But. I respectfully oppose because the same ceiling has different colors in the two photographs. The distortion is too prominent at left : look, the chairs in foreground are long like sunbathing beds on the beach. By the way, all that chairs are uninteresting, I think a picture taken closer to the altar, from the limit of the choir’s seats for instance, would have given a more detailed view on the magnificent stained glass window (I know Diliff’s purpose is to provide complete views more than detailed). Right part looks a bit « flat » to me, especially in colors, due to the comparison with the left one. No problem with the « no symmetry », the church is as it is. In my opinion, the pipes of the organ deserve a special picture as it looks so wonderful. Thanks and sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure this vote is really possible - it will just confuse the bot which will interpret it as two separate votes one in favour and one against. I don't think there's a way that one can support one picture in a set and oppose another. I feel that the best thing to do would be to indicate whether you support or oppose the set as it stands, and then consensus will take its course. If the set does not pass, which appears quite possible, I will nominate the first image by itself. Cmao20 (talk) 09:36, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Left one i would support. One bad idea of making a set, since one bad spoil other good shots. I go by that code, not by majority. --Mile (talk) 09:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @King of Hearts: For sure I oppose the set. I am not sure I’ll support the right part, neither the left, due to my previous rationales above. Anyway, I think a withdraw of the current set and an entire new process of nomination are necessary. If not, it will be confusing a lot.--Jebulon (talk) 10:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]


 Comment With the voting concluded as of ten minutes ago, I make this a clear consensus in favour of the first image (at least 11 support, 4 oppose, though it is clear that if it had been nominated by itself most if not all of these opposes would not have happened) and a 10 support, 5 oppose ratio for the second image, which means that both pass. So by my sums the nomination succeeds, although someone will need to close it manually otherwise the bot will interpret King of Hearts's vote as if it were two votes and will automatically fail the nomination as 11 support, 6 oppose. I would prefer not to perform the close myself in the interests of transparency. Cmao20 (talk) 14:51, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apologies, the bit I struck through is nonsense and is the fault of me doing the maths wrong. The bot should correctly promote the nomination with an 11/5 score. But probably best for someone to check this manually anyway. Cmao20 (talk) 15:39, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe the score should be 13/2/0 for standalone, and 10/5/0 for the set. However, contrary to a normal nomination with alts, where both cannot be promoted and only the one with higher support should be promoted, here both can be promoted, so the correct outcome should be to promote the set with 10/5/0. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Info Please vote only once. And just vote for this candidature. Double votes create confusion when closing. Fixed. -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:09, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
