Info Ceiling of the Saint George Basilica, Victoria, Gozo Island, Malta. The St. George's Basilica or San Ġorġ in Maltese is a historic Baroque church situated in the Cittadella of Victoria, the fortified old town in the middle of Gozo, the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago, and is surrounded by a maze of old narrow streets and alleys. Today's basilica was built between 1672 and 1678. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Again and again this overwhelming splendor of the old sacral buildings. Plus the tasty cherry on the top: the lovely starburst effects! -- Radomianin (talk) 12:04, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very detailed and nice, though I think you went a bit overboard with the highlight recovery (leading to grey haloes around the lights), but I'm just nitpicking here. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As KoH notes, the highlight recovery produces some odd results, which are quite apparent without pixel peeping. The lamps themselves should be as bright as the image can show. Yet some are very much mid grey (e.g. far left top group of three) and the others are mid cream. This is what happens when people keep moaning incorrectly about blown highlights: a light source far exceeds the dynamic range of any camera and certainly exceeds what a JPG can render. The grey halo round the lights is quite distracting. It could be this isn't highlight recovery but an attempt at hiding rainbow flare as seen in the top left middle light. These flaws are fixable. -- Colin (talk) 08:37, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support now. The sunstars now look correct at their centres. Poco, I do still think you should ping all reviewers when you make a big change, not just those who commented negatively. For example, some may be upset about the widows. As we've seen on other noms, sometimes pleasing one person ruins the image for someone else. -- Colin (talk) 16:46, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek, Radomianin, Aristeas, Florstein, and King of Hearts: just to inform you that highlights are stronger in the current version per the discussion in this page. Poco a poco (talk) 19:15, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well done Your editing has enhanced the quality of this beautiful photo. Thank you :) -- Radomianin (talk) 19:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. It's probably a bit better this way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I miss some contrast here. Color space could be changed from Uncalibrated to RGB. --Mile (talk) 09:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC) p.S. This is what i get with copy-paste.[reply]
Comment @King of Hearts, Colin, and PetarM: Ok, I reduced the highlights correction, which guides also to an increase of contrast. I also reworked the purple flare in the middle top left light and exported the JPEG in the sRGB color space, that setting was standard in my export but probably with a Lr update it got lost.

This was a good case to show that "Uncalibrated space" is an issue. Also, i knew you would push windows, since i was trying early. They were better in 1st shot, but they made maybe 5% of space where ceiling is 95 %. I would support if that would be covered manually, since software slicing won't. --Mile (talk) 18:07, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Much better and more interesting with the highlight correction toned down. Cmao20 (talk) 15:24, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
