Royal College of Music[edit]

The front facade of the Royal College of Music in London, England
Reason
Its been a while since the last nomination as I've been both busy and lacking in inspiration of late, but I took this mosaic stitched image of the Royal College of Music recently, and although the lighting was a bit flat, I think the composition is pretty good and the detail available of the impressive architecture makes it worthy of a nomination.

  • Support Excellent shot, shows its subject well. You need to teach me how to stitch so well, it always looks terrible when I try. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 18:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Living in a time when a mere sketch or the intention of a good work is enough to satisfy many, we have to applaud the care and attention to the details. Good work Dilif, but please take away that white plastic glass at left... Alvesgaspar 21:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I was wondering when I could at last support a diliff picture :). For information, there are tiny stitching errors on the right tower (edge with the sky) (and no I won't oppose for them). If you have some time, maybe you could fix ? I'm also wondering how you achieve such huge quantity of details, because I'm trying hard to do something similar but certainly with less success...

    • It has a lot to do with a great camera and top-flight optics. I've only ever seen comparable detail from 5x4 transparencies. Support, of course, despite some (barely noticeable) lighting anomolies. Great enc image. mikaultalk 22:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support Really great image, though I too would like the plastic cup removed and any other small cleanups necessary.--HereToHelp 23:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Looks great, even with the cup. Amphy 00:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, because complaining about the cup, people's head, and woman through the railings is being too picky. Yet, I will mention them to feel better ~_~ --gren グレン 06:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the woman you see through the railings is a statue/fountain. Mak (talk) 15:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Stunning detail and quality in a picture of a very pretty building. --Paul 20:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great image. Good detail and quality.
  • Support. The women's heads can be removed from the image if need be, but the cup isn't distracting at all. I didn't even know it was there until I read the comment. - Mgm|(talk) 09:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Tom@sBat 22:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Automatic Support, although is it just me or is there posterisation in the sky? --antilivedT | C | G 05:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's there - but very weak, couldn't see it on my calibrated CRT until I upped contrast/lowered brightness - it may be more visible on some flat screens, as well as the largish, blurry dark dots in the sky (no, I won't tell where, you'll have to find them yourself... ;-). No reason not to support, those flaws are minor. --Janke | Talk 09:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose. Considering the lengths that were gone to make this image, I feel a little extra effort to take the images on a day with better lighting would have been worthwhile. --Vaelta 22:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, very good picture, Very clear and crisp, centered and takes up most of the picture. Keep up the good work!! Chris H 15:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Even though the trees are slightly blurred, there's litter near the bottom-left corner, and I can barely read where it says "Royal College of Music" without wearing my glasses. ;) · AndonicO Talk 18:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
