  • Support the one corrected for lens distortion. The Minster in Bad Doberan is a medieval building of the highest technical and artistic perfection. It is not new, if anyone would think that, it is an old building, and it is handmade bricks and the altar is really unique. High EV, what is it now, folks? It is a highly spectacular building, don't we want this one for our Wikipedia? Hafspajen (talk) 14:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Altar in Roskilde cathedral, same style
Would a closeup of the altar, carved around 1300 (!), be better in terms of visual interest? Sca (talk) 00:25, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This picture need more input, relist maybe? Hafspajen (talk) 14:01, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Picture feels a little weird. Was it was taken slightly off-centre, then perspective-corrected without taking that into account? Because the altar doesn't line up quite with the centre of the arched roof behind it. But I'm not really sure... Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:49, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
