Reason
I believe each of the images could be featurable in their own right but work particularly well together to illustrate some of the significant architectural features of the cathedral.

  • Well, the middle one of the choir is 50 images. The other two are 30 each. I guess that makes 110 for the set. ;-)Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:20, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Very impressive...--Godot13 (talk) 04:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Excellent work as usual. Nikhil (talk) 06:54, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Of course. About the only flaw is a small, unavoidable amount of perspective distortion near the edges. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There is an unexpected lack of symmetry with the Quire image. Was something preventing you from get dead centre? Saffron Blaze (talk) 22:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I always try to position the camera dead centre, but I find this slight lack of symmetry to be quite common in churches and cathedrals. Sometimes the altar or the middle of the aisle isn't aligned with the ceiling, or the quire is off centre. I'm not entirely sure what the source of the misalignment was in this image but it's probably off by a matter of 1-2cm at most. This is a very wide angle view (115 degrees horizontal field of view, roughly equivalent to a 14mm rectilinear lens), and any misalignment is exaggerated by the perspective in the corners. What I can see is that I am very close to being exactly in the middle of the the ribs on vaulted ceiling (there's no lean of this line which you would expect if I were off-centre relative to it). If the image is indeed centred on the vaulted ceiling, then I would have to assume that the quire and the arches behind it are imperfectly symmetrical and slightly shifted to camera right. Then again it might all be because I was just that 1-2cm off centre. I'm not sure. I don't think it's a huge issue though. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:53, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nor do I, but it was atypical for your work and that got me wondering. Thanks for the explanation. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:57, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support — Enthralling images. (And from what I've read in Rolf Toman's Gothic: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, departures from strict symmetry are not unusual in historic Gothic churches.) Sca (talk) 21:53, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
