- Info Christ church or Christuskirche, Windhoek, Namibia. The church, built beween 1907-1910 and designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, was originally known as the Church of Peace as it was built following the wars between the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Owambo. It was constructed from quartz sandstone mined from the vicinity and has a mixture of neo-Romanesque, Art Nouveau and Gothic revival influences. All by me. Poco2 18:55, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose I can't unsee the way the sidewalk edge is cut off on the bottom, what could have been a harmonic base for the photo – LucasT 21:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Not knowing what's beyond the statue on the left, and whether the frame goes that far, is it possible to include a bit more so the two sides aren't so dissonant (completely open on the right and almost completely closed on the left)? As it is now the open right side coupled with the tower creates a very unbalanced composition. If not possible try cropping a tiny bit from the right (in the middle or just after the trunk of the smaller palm tree should be fine) to bring balance to the
Forceimage. Lucas is also right that some more breathing room would be better at the bottom. -- KennyOMG (talk) 23:08, 13 January 2019 (UTC)- KennyOMG: I've reworked the crop on both sides but there's no much I can do at the bottom, though. (eta: yes, the other picture looks nice!) --Poco2 20:20, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Weak support Even accounting for the bottom crop and the flat light, I still see an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 03:44, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Lucas. I really like so much about the picture, but the bottom crop causes me tension. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Question @Lucasbosch, KennyOMG, Daniel Case, and Ikan Kekek: Is this other view FP-worthy in your eyes? --Poco2 19:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Some of the crops could be more generous on that one, too, but yes, I think so. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:10, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Cut off palm tree on the right, sidewalk cuts into the corner, so it is irking me similarily. Apart from that the angle is better and without obstruction by that palm tree. – LucasT 19:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment "Cut off palm tree on the right" - can't please'em all. :) Maybe the crop was a bit too much but I think it's more balanced. Can't support without more space at the bottom though. (eta: yes the other picture looks nice!) -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination Ok, will try the other version, thanks. --Poco2 18:33, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
