Oppose. Sorry, but the whites on the building at clipped. Also kind of small. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Is it really effecting the picture ? Am not seeing a huge difference. Mydreamsparrow (talk) 07:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yea, the focus is the building, where all the details of it is lost due to blown highlights. — raeky t 18:07, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Image is too small (the FP criteria requires 1500 px in width and height - this picture has only 808 px height). The highlights are blown too. The sky's brightness is not even (see image guidelines for panoramics). Also, I notice some artifacts caused by too much tone-mapping or the "details" slider in Photoshop (see the bright halo around the tree on the right of the basilica and a subtle dark shadow around the building itself). There is also some mild posterisation in the sky caused, presumably, by JPEG compression. It's a shame that the technical quality is not up to par because otherwise it is quite a nice composition.
