Question - That's an excellent photo that I would vote to support, but I'd like to know how the church's facade is so bright. Are there bright lights some ways back on the right and left sides that are also lighting the fence? If so, how do they avoid shadows on the facade? Sorry if this is an ignorant question. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure Ikan Kekek there are lights that avoid shadows on the facade. Asking is always lawful, answering is good manners. And anyway: if people did not questions, we would never answers (Nicola Tesla). Thanks LivioAndronico ^(talk) 08:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral It looks spectacular, but IMO it does not reflect the real lightening conditions. This happens often with a one long exposure single shot. But I understand, why others like it. See i.e. the color of the lawn on the left side. --Hubertl 11:57, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are you seeing that I'm not noticing? The lawn on the left side looks bright green to me, which would seem to me to reflect its being shined upon by bright lights. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:24, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unless this church is lit up like a film set at night, I suggest this is quite unrealistically over-exposed. Educational purpose is compromised. Also, please properly categorise your images before nominating at FP. Category:Church of Saint Thomas More is an orphan and there is no descriptive location information in the file page (just a geocode). -- Colin (talk) 08:58, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral per Hubertl. Daniel Case (talk) 15:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree with Colin and Hubertl about the lighting. The technical quality is okay, but not excellent for an architectural photo such as this. The photo has noise in the sky, and is not very sharp -- probably there was some vibration in the tripod during the 30 second exposure (the star trail in the middle top is further evidence of camera shake). The picture is noticeably over-sharpened: see the black edges around the bright tree leaves on the left and the white halos around dark buildings and trees in the background. There are some ways that the composition can be improved too. For example, the green railing on the bottom left should not be part of the frame. dllu (t,c) 00:40, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
