There are some higher resolution versions online, though if this is the original image uploaded by Luminet himself (upload details say so) then this one surely has the most EV? JJARichardson (talk) 17:18, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there are higher resolution available online (and if those are not upscaled) then this is likely not the original resolution. I think the best available resolution should be uploaded (if available under a free license). I would support in that case. UnpetitproleX (talk) 00:46, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I can’t see how this adds EV to the article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:53, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp: it’s place containing many Catholic statues of saints in a Brazilian town, showing the faith in the Catholic Church in Brazil = EV. ArionStar (talk) 21:38, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even if they were all saints (and many are not), it would not add much EV. You could indicate the names of all the saints and if they are a roll call of the saints relevant to the Catholic Church in Brazil, that might be of value. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:46, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can see Our Lady of Aparecida, Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of Fátima, Sacred Heart, etc… ArionStar (talk) 12:53, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thérèse of Lisieux… ArionStar (talk) 21:04, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – It’s certainly colorful enough, and a glimpse into a culture with which many Anglophones may not be familiar. OTOH, the subject is religion, typically a touchy one. I don’t find it objectionable, but some might. – Sca (talk) 18:41, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca: every Brazilian (Catholic or not) would recognize these symbols if the photo is seen by, since it’s part of the national culture and we have the largest Catholic population in the world. Highly educative image. ArionStar (talk) 02:03, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There seems vertical perspective, as Sca mentioned above. — Hamid Hassani (talk) 05:44, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You mean perspective distortion? ArionStar (talk) 05:56, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, just asking. — Sca (talk) 15:26, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The ground/soil where the church is located is not flat/linear, perhaps this causes that impression. ArionStar (talk) 15:31, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There is significant perspective distortion. The walls are projecting outwards, the vertical lens shift correction has been overdone, resulting in heavy distortion. —UnpetitproleX (talk) 12:26, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The image shows clear signs of excessive vertical perspective correction. Measuring the extended vertical edges reveals noticeable discrepancies: the left vertical edge shows a 14 px difference, while the right shows 7 px. This indicates that the perspective correction has been overapplied, resulting in unnatural distortion of the church’s walls. For comparison, see this reference image: Alamy view of the church. Sorry. Best regards, — Radomianin (talk) 18:18, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination You’re right, Radomianin. Your reviews are always accurate and welcome. ArionStar (talk) 02:48, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
