~~Oppose Underexposed~~ Support Colin and you are right, we need this exposure to see the windows --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 23:07, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It's supposed to be dark like that to keep the original atmosphere of the interior. It wasn't accidental underexposure. Diliff (talk) 10:01, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support very nice for me --Pudelek (talk) 09:32, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I agree about the light levels -- dark oak should be dark, not HDR mid-tan. The contrast with File:St Stephen Walbrook Church Interior 2, London, UK - Diliff.jpg is strong -- this is an old dark church. One suggestion, though, is to nominate this and the File:St Etheldreda's Church 2, London, UK - Diliff.jpg west view as a set. -- Colin (talk) 10:42, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That's true. Is it possible to change a single nomination into a set without introducing all kinds of confusion? There's so much code in Commons FPC that I'm a bit unsure about how to do it properly. Diliff (talk) 18:03, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Colin --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Question Could you please consider an horizontal perspective correction ? The ~~shoals~~ benches !!! should be horizontal, IMO (see note). Thank you.--Jebulon (talk) 13:57, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it's as simple as that. I'm not sure why they are not horizontal image but it could even be that they are not not actually physically aligned perfectly with the aisle (unlikely, but possible). Usually when the verticals are corrected and the centre of the panorama is defined accurately (which it is, I think), then any horizontal lines which are parallel with the plane of the camera remain straight and horizontal. If they do not, I usually suspect there is actually a genuine reason for it. Also, I made a panorama looking towards the back of the church and the pews lean in exactly the same way for that panorama too. Yes, it's possible that I made a mistake in my technique somewhere, but I don't think so. I've made many similar panoramas without any such issues, and I don't think that my equipment could be the cause of an issue. I'm using a quality 35mm lens with virtually no distortion (and what distortion it does have, I correct in Lightroom), and I'm using a panoramic head so there should not be any stitching or alignment errors that could introduce a lean. In any case, I don't think it's possible to 'correct' them without introducing distortion or leaning elsewhere in the image. Diliff (talk) 18:03, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for quick and detailed answer. I'm sorry if I'm not convinced by your explanation. I have to look at this more carefuly, but I've never seen ~~shoals~~ benches !!! like this before, so far from the altar. No logical reason.--Jebulon (talk) 19:43, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, regardless of whether you are convinced, I don't see that it is an easy correction to make without affecting other parts of the image. Changing the tilt of the seating will affect other true horizontal lines. Also, what exactly do you mean by shoal? See the typical English use here, which doesn't have much relevance to a church. ;-) Diliff (talk) 11:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - ! Shame to Google translator ! Sorrysorrysorry ! The "collective seats" are named "bancs", in french. You link me to another meaning of "bancs", and I made the mistake ! Thanks for correction.--Jebulon (talk) 21:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done : Benches !!!--Jebulon (talk) 14:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - No problem. :-) We call them pews in English usually. A pew is a bench specifically for churches. Maybe it's a Anglo-centric word, because the article certainly talks mainly about English Protestant churches. Google tells me the word pew comes from the old French 'puye' which in turn comes from the Latin 'podium'. But a pew is not a podium.... Anyway, enough linguistics!
