St Mary's Church, Brownsea Island

St Mary's Church on Brownsea Island in Poole, Dorset. The church is the current religious home to the Scouting movement and serves the few residents of the island, as well as Brownsea Island Scout camp. It was created by William Waugh in Gothic style.

Reason: Recieved support to nominate in picture peer review Wikipedia:Picture peer review/StMarysChurch. I believe its of a high quality/resolution and is pleasing to the eye. I welcome any other user to edit using tools/photoshop etc (as I do not have the tools or the knowledge) if they are worried about the foreground tree shadow or roof highlights (as mentioned in review).

Support - I don't think I can find any faults with this pic. Well, the bottom right is very slightly blurred and an extreme pedant would accuse it of colour fringing in a few places, but I'm willing to overlook that. At 1024x768 preview size it's crystal clear, so a thumbnail will be perfect. The image page is very helpful, has all metadata intact etc., good job. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 18:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I'm sorry but the angle is not the best (too low) and I find the distortion quite annoying. Alvesgaspar 19:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't have a problem with the angle- nice pic. -- Sturgeonman 19:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Desperately needs a caption. What's the significance of the church or architectural style? Right now it's E5T7A6. ~ trialsanderrors 22:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdrawn, thanks for caption. I have to think more about the picture, maybe I'll do an edit. ~ trialsanderrors 01:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have just improved the caption but would like to note that the image description page has an extended caption explaining its significance. If the caption needs work, please feel free to improve. LordHarris 23:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Supportits a beutifull abd well composed photo -Nelro 11:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It would be great if submitters of FP candidates corrected tilts and leans, this pic is a good example. The tower is leaning heavily to the right which, to me, looks ridiculous. Remember that we are looking for the very best pics so distortions like this are not acceptable to me (even if few voters on FPC notice such distortions) - Adrian Pingstone 16:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Apart from distortion, I find that it overall does not quite compare to Wikipedia's existing featured pictures of architecture. -- Balster neb 17:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
SupportI dont like that tree in the front view but its a very nice picture and the distortion and angle are fine. Its a nice pic. I looked at other featured architecture pictures and must say they are all of big and significant buildings, there are no small buildings. I think you shouldnt judge a photograph of a building on how it looks to other buildings, but by its own merits.LostCity42 17:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The big tree shadow in front is distracting, as is the young tree tied to the stake. howcheng {chat} 01:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
