Comment Original is too dark and alternative too cropped. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:57, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ – Much as I admire Iliff's work, I have to agree with Charles. And the alternative image looks like it might be oversaturated. Sca (talk) 14:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm going to go against the crowd and support the original, but oppose alternate. It's an extremely well shot image, and the darkness does not bother me since it is likely to be an accurate representation of the interior of this basilica (which are often dark to begin with). So high quality and good EV. Mattximus (talk) 23:53, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to think about that aspect.... Sca (talk) 13:57, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Hey, I'm back! (not really, but I did get notified about this and thought it was worth giving my 2c). I have to say that I believe my image is more faithful to the interior (at least when I took it). Mine was taken in January in midwinter, so there is no ambient light from outside, whereas I understand Diego's image was taken in summer where there is ambient light entering the cathedral. So that partially explains the brightness difference. I do often take issue with how Diego processes his HDR images, I find they are often too bright and don't respect the natural tones of the scene and I think it is also the case here. One thing I would say is that my image actually looks a lot darker in the thumbnail than it does when viewed full screen. I think when viewed full screen it is low-key but all necessary detail clearly visible, with good dynamic range (for a non HDR image from 2006, anyway!).

Hi, Dave. Sca (talk)

Support – I have been there and it was dark. I don't recall the shadows being as dark as this image, but human eyes do some auto HDR I guess. Would be nice if shadows were brighter but not a deal breaker. Good EV, good quality. Bammesk (talk) 02:04, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
