Oppose. I keep wanting to support this, in terms of effort and quality, but just can't. I find the distortions too disturbing - this is really much too close to the surrounding buildings to take in a 180° panorama (the buildings at image left are on the same straight road as those on image right, yet we're looking face-on at both of them). Old City Hall (Toronto) is very uncomfortably warped, and the Square itself gets a really weird shape (spend a bit of time reconciling it with this 'straight' image of the Square for example; in fact I spent quite some time trying to work out what I was actually looking at using several other articles/images and Google Maps and street view before I really felt sure what was in this and where it had been taken from). I'm also not entirely convinced about the colours. Maybe if you want people spending ages trying to figure out what this place really looks like this is a good prompter, but the distortions kills the EV for me. Something a bit less ambitious in terms of angle of view would IMO come up more pleasant and informative. --jjron (talk) 12:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support As per my commons statement and the fact it takes quite a bit more than a wide angle persepctive to disturb me. Saffron Blaze (talk) 13:28, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per SaffronBlaze. Clegs (talk) 09:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the wide angle perspective. Color and clarity are good. Pine^talk 06:08, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Distortions aren't distracting, at least not when viewed in the larger format. Illustrates the subject in a great way.126.109.231.71 (talk) 02:01, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
