- Info A different approach to photographing the interior of a church – more intimate… (c/u/n) --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:42, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:42, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Impressive to me; contemplative mood. -- Radomianin (talk) 10:35, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Nice, I think I'll forgo the wide-angle lens next time I plan to visit a church! I also appreciate the clever use of lighting, and the careful choice of composition and depth of field. How hard is it to nail manual focus on a 60 MP rangefinder camera? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- I love manual focussing and I've used manual focus lenses even on DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. For the M11, it's generally easy. In this case, it was difficult, because I shot this wide open (M series cameras don't record the aperture correctly, they just guess it – so please ignore the Exif data) and even a small movement made a difference. This is a handheld shot in difficult lighting conditions, so technique matters. Frank Schulenburg (talk) 12:11, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support per Randomianin. --SHB2000 (talk) 11:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Question Why did you choose a bent candle? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:36, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Because this specific one had the best light on it and the best background. I'm pretty obsessed about details like that and usually "work the scene" quite a lot. Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- In the Low Saxon language of the region my family originates from, we'd also say "En beten scheef hett Gott leef", which translates to "God likes things that are crooked (meaning not perfect)" :-) Frank Schulenburg (talk) 17:23, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- I was about to suggest "Bent but unbroken" as a backstory for the image, but that one is way better :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Well they do say that most of academia leans to the left... Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- *lol* Just this conversation made the shot worth being nominated. Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

- Does that have any similarity to the Jesuit saying that "God writes straight with crooked lines"? Daniel Case (talk) 16:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice candle, but I do not see any reason for the FP nomination. Just candle... -- Karelj (talk) 21:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Just a candle ... but an amazing and captivating image of it, capturing the atmosphere perfectly. --Kritzolina (talk) 06:53, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

- Weak oppose The background is kind of busy, and I thought at first this was a beer tap, so I was wondering why it was in glass. Daniel Case (talk) 16:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
