• Comment. The buildings on both sides tilt towards the middle-- perhaps the image can be corrected to fix this. Is there distortion of the stern of the ferry, or is the ferry really shaped like that? Spikebrennan (talk) 14:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
  • The original with spherical projection has the rear curved. The restitched version I think fixes that. Muhammad(talk) 18:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose - Doesn't add significant value to the articles -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:44, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
  • I think it does its share of illustrating the Ferry article particularly the docking section. Muhammad(talk) 04:47, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose I don't see a whole lot of EV in the ferry, and I find the framing a bit tight. The ferry looks quite distorted in the restitched version, too. Fletcher (talk) 04:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Updated original with better crop and slightly different stitch which removes the distortion. Muhammad(talk) 06:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Withdraw for now to fix some problems. Muhammad(talk)
