This photograph appears on the Worcester page. I like the composition because of the reflection of the lit cathedral in the river Severn. Also, the rich colours really make the cathedral stand out. This imaage has been on the Worcester page for quite some time now and I believe it is of good enough quality to be a featured picture. For the record, I took the picture myself in 2004.

  • Weak Support The Picture is beautifull, I'm just not sure if I like having the trees in the way of the subject (covering more that half of it).Nnfolz 16:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment Yes it is true that the building is partly obscured by the tress. However, the defining features - namely the main west window and cathedral tower are still perfectly visible. The spot from where this picture was taken is the best point from which to photograph the cathedral. --Newton2 16:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Reasons above. Cab02 20:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment I have also added a photograph taken from the same spot during the daytime for reference.
  • Weak Oppose. The subject matter is too small and inconspicuous. The picture is good but hardly informative - I doubt if I will be able to identify the cathedral after looking at this photograph. I actually prefer the one taken at daytime. - Cribananda 01:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose i just dont like the way the trees cover it Childzy talk contribs 15:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose The picture is tilted, and you are not sure what you are looking at. However, I do like the comparison picture. The white stuff in the water is rather distracting... The trees are distracting in both pictures though... Political Mind 02:34, July 12, 2006 (UTC).
Comment "The white stuff in the water" which you point out is not really optional since it comprises swans! Although the daytime comparison image is not the one up for normination, it would be nice to see a modicum of common sense when commenting on images. --Newton2 09:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I think that having the trees and swans, so eloquently described as 'white stuff' above, really captures the nature and setting of the cathedral. --Wisden17 14:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment: Please see Newton's comment above. That is not the image up for nomination. - Cribananda 17:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
