This looks to be OK quality and is quite good, but I'm not completely convinced. It seems to have a substantial bend to it, I'm not sure if its a result of the lens used or perhaps a two (?) image stitch, as there's no metadata and no further information provided. Regardless of the cause, this can sometimes be taken as acceptable, sometimes not. Unfortunately that building at front is cutoff at the bottom and there's possibly a slight excess of sky at the top - not sure if that could have been avoided by getting more at the bottom (looks like you were shooting off a rooftop), but that could also work against it. --jjron (talk) 13:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The picture is an image stitch of three pictures. I used Hugin Panorama Creator for stitching. The bend results from the cylindrical projection of the stitched picture. Here is another version with rectilinear projection. Do you think it's better?
  - I actually think I do prefer the alt. Still looks to be a slight warp and the bottom corner of that building is still clipped, but not as bad. I prefer the lighting in the original though, you probably haven't done the same post-processing. Could possibly stand to lose a little sky through a crop (maybe 10% of the image height) to give it a slightly more 'panoramic' look. --jjron (talk) 07:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks for your competent advice. I have uploaded a new version with a slightliy cropped sky. Unfortunately the bottom corner of the building is still clipped. Maybe I am going to look for it in my next holidays.--Imehling (talk) 17:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
