  • Comment - It looks curved, like it was taken with a fisheye lens. Was it? --TotoBaggins 01:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - No, just a normal lens, however it's a couple of photos taken at the same point stitched together. Schcambo 12:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • oppose curve and big gray discontinuity in sky. Debivort 02:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - I think that's a cloud... Schcambo 12:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
      • I doubt it. Clouds are showing up white in the image. Maybe it's smoke. Debivort 15:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose the image is highly reproducible and should be retaken at a better time of day (not into the sun) and with a longer focal length (to reduce the lens distortion). Even then I don't think it is compelling enough to be a featured picture. There are thousands of more interesting/beautiful/historically significant churches in France.
