Well, you know how picky voters are about tilted photos. ;-) --Cart (talk) 19:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was a good one, Cart :–). You made my day … – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{{oppose}} I don't like the tilt. --~~~~ /s --SHB2000 (talk) 10:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The author can't help it, but I can't get used to the scaffolding in a prominent place.--Milseburg (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you sure it ruins the photo? ★ 15:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't say ruin. But the scaffolding is too disturbing for an FP. The conditions for an outstanding image of this building were not present at that time. The rising sun is nice to have, but for a FP of this ensemble of buildings, I would forgo it and prefer if important parts of the building are not covered by elements that wouldn't normally belong. BTW, the crop is a bit tight, isn't it? --Milseburg (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Just a comment (no critic of your vote!). I completely understand the dislike for the scaffolding. Personally I have learned to resign myself with it especially in photographs of very prominent buildings. I have visited Florence, Siena, and Pisa (to mention just the most famous Cathedral towns of Tuscany) each several times, but AFAICR never seen any of the famous cathedrals without scaffolding – when the restoration work was finished at one part, the next part was scaffolded to carry on with the work. The same applies to all major French cathedrals I know. Therefore I am rather happy with photos like this one because it offers at least an almost clean foreground (almost no cars, people, stands/kiosks – all these nasty things which often ruin photos of such buildings). – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)  Comment Cologne Cathedral always has scaffolding somewhere. But if a prominent part, like one of the towers, was scaffolded, no FP would be possible at that time. Taking an FP is difficult, it is not possible under every condition. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
