- Info Panorama of Örebro castle in the city center of Örebro, Sweden. The castle's history goes back to the 1300s and castle has played a central role in Swedish history. The castle was besieged 9 times before 1568. The castle was captured three times during the last century of the Kalmar Union; 1434 by Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson during Engelbrekt rebellion in 1434 against Eric of Pomerania, 1520 by Christian_II_of_Denmark; and 1520 by Gustav Vasa. The castle was one of Gustav Vasa's most important during his reign 1523-1560. The building was rebuilt 1573-1625 and later around 1900. Since the 1700s it has been the residence of the governor of the Örebro County. Please note that the bridge rail is not straight.

- Support Great scene. More sharpening and shadow brightening than necessary I think. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 16:51, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you Julian. I think you are right and I uploaded a new version. I removed all sharpening and shadow brightening done after I created the panorama. The new version is also darker (0,2 EV). --ArildV (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

- Support Very crisp, high detail level, good light and colors. To be honest the composition/crop does not work optimally for me. The tree in the foreground is a bit distracting, yet I suppose it is virtually impossible to get an unobstructed view? Next, the left-right alignment of the castle seems a bit unbalanced as well for me. But my own attempts at framing it otherwise has not been succesful. So I guess what you have is near-optimal, . --Slaunger (talk) 19:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you Slaunger. It is possible to avoid the tree by going to the right, but you get a less dramatic and interesting composition imo (see here file:Örebro slott May 2014 02.jpg. I chose this angle and composition because I liked the dramatic triangle shape with the stream in the foreground. If I had gone to the left, I had get a bridge in the foreground (see here file:Örebro_slott_May_2014_03.jpg). I added a geolocation (Google have street view for Örebro).

- Thanks for the explanation, ArildV. It makes sense. --Slaunger (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
