Original – Tombs of Henry II of France and his wife Catherine de' Medici in Basilica of St Denis, ParisAlt 1. Some chroma and luminance noise reduction have been applied.
Reason
Trying again, after the
last time a half voter was missing
Oppose. Sorry, I withheld from voting last time, but I guess if it's coming back I may as well comment. I do quite like the composition, but I find this all a bit murky to be honest; I understand that this in difficult lighting conditions and better lighting may be very difficult, but it honestly doesn't quite do it for me. Some of the other images linked on the image page, while possibly done using on-camera flash, show that better lighting may be possible, and would also bring up truer colours. Couple that with the limited extent of the image - we can't see the whole tombs, only the top third or so, Catherine is well and truly out of focus, and even the lower shoulders and 'bed' of poor old Henry are gone, and it doesn't quite make it for me. --

Oppose also... There's a lot of
chromatic aberration (I believe that's the term!) going on throughout the image, such that at 100% much of the image is red and green. I guess this is a result of the high ISO used but is still not ideal. Additionally, I'd prefer an angle something like
this to show all of both of the tombs. Nikthestoned16:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)reply
