Info Christ church or Christuskirche, Windhoek, Namibia. The church, built beween 1907-1910 and designed by architect Gottlieb Redecker, was originally known as the Church of Peace as it was built following the wars between the Germans and the Khoikhoi, Herero, and Owambo. It was constructed from quartz sandstone mined from the vicinity and has a mixture of neo-Romanesque, Art Nouveau and Gothic revival influences. After the feedback I got in the just closed and failed FP nom of this subject, looks like this one could have a higher chance to pass the bar. All by me, Poco2 19:28, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Question The file name and spanish description use “Winhoek” without a “d”, but the spanish Wikipedia article has the “d”. Which is right and for which languages? Also, IMHO, FPs showing real places should include location information (GPS coordinates). – Lucas 21:41, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Lucasbosch:
fixed, thanks! I oversaw that typo in the filename, I also added the geodata, --Poco2 09:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Poco² The spanish description still has the missing “d”, or is this intentional? – Lucas 11:10, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- No, sure not, Lucas, gone, thanks --Poco2 11:32, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Neutral Beautiful building with great colors. Composition-wise, however, I feel that a 1.55x aspect ratio is too wide for such a square building; it feels like it doesn't have enough room to breathe on the top and bottom relative to the sides. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:20, 19 January 2019 (UTC)- Question Nice light. But I am not fully convinced by the crop / composition: Is it possible to uncut the black-white strip at the right foreground and choose a less central composition? --Tuxyso (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Tuxyso: Unfortunately I cannot expand the crop at the bottom and regarding the proposal to crop left or right, I am right now not sure about it. I've a bunch of opinions in this and in the former FPC and before I start offering several alternative I'd like to see how this FPC turns out --Poco2 21:10, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Support - I've gone back and forth with this picture a few times. I wish it were possible to show the black and white curb all the way to the edge of the picture, but the church is beautiful and photographed in what I consider good light, and except for that detail, the composition is working for me. I think this is good enough to be worth featuring. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:57, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

- Support I propose to crop a bit at the left side -- Llez (talk) 21:27, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Oppose The composition does not work for me, sorry. For me, the other one was better. --Uoaei1 (talk) 11:12, 21 January 2019 (UTC)- Support -- KennyOMG (talk) 13:45, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
