Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Image-Grand central Station Outside Night 2.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Grand central terminal on Manhattan.
Edit 1 - Last chance.
Not for voting- this is the image from the previous nomination.
Reason
This is a re-nomination of sorts... This was the first nom which failed because of distortion issues. So I went back to the source files and re-stitched and labored to get all the lines as best as they could be. This is the result which I feel is better. It also has some added sharpness to boot. I would encourage people to vote on the full sized image (as per the criteria), not the 800px image description page, where what's left of any distortion is unnoticeable to my eyes. Anyway, I hope this one fares better as it took a lot of work to take this and I doubt the sharpness and composition could be improved upon.

*Oppose for the unfortunate distortion. Building is bowed upwards in the middle. The centre line of the road forms a long S bend. The straight Stone walkway curves in two directions, rather than simply curving away at the left as it should. A bin (bottom left) is distorted far from rectilinear. Check out the people at the stand (bottom left) - appear to be very wide and the bottom left corner of the stand is stretched from square. Taxi (front left) wheels are no longer round - Peripitus (Talk) 06:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
