Original – St. Mary's Syro-Malabar Cathedral Basilica, Ernakulam

Edit 1: Cropped to make the highlight issue less of a problem.

Reason: A notable Christian church with historic background. I think I have captured a better inside view of the church. Currently there is no other FP in the page. The flower bokehs on bottom corners are slightly distracting the image still with good quality and lighting.

Comment - @Mydreamsparrow: Some of the highlights are blown, losing some detail. Seems likely fixable, as the rest looks good. Most noticeable on the flowers along the middle aisle, and less so in a few areas in the very middle of the image. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:23, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Rhododendrites. If you can recover the highlights (or reshoot with a lower exposure/HDR), this image would likely be of FP standard. MER-C 12:29, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support either but with advice: If you can't recover the highlights, why not crop a bit off the bottom to at least draw the eye away from them? They're a bit too prominent now, but some croptool experimentation says it looks pretty good with less of them in frame. I've done one as an example, feel free to replace it with one of your own, or just remove it if you can get the highlights fixed properly..
