 * Oppose The scaffolding in front of the entrance does for it for me (I suppose ongoing restoration and conservation mean there is almost constantly scaffolding somewhere, but just here it is too distracting; though I'm easily distra...). Belle (talk) 10:08, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose I agree with Belle regarding the unfortunate presence of the scaffolding. It kills an otherwise very nice and well-executed photographs - unless, of course, the EV is in showing the ongoing restauration? -- Slaunger (talk) 21:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, Slaunger and Belle, yet restaurations of cathedrals take years and imo they are simply a part of reality, especially if we look at cathedrals that suffered in WWII. Imo, the scaffolding didn't obscure the towers too much, but I get the point that they still distract. Thanks for your vote anyway! --DXR (talk) 22:31, 22 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Just thought I'd mention, I know how restorations take long times and scaffolding becomes part of the building for months or even years so that should make it acceptable IMO. However, for this particular scene, I'm not a big fan of the light --Muhammad (talk) 14:35, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
