Oppose. Already stumbled across this one. It is big, I'll give it that much ;-). Unfortunately it is crooked as hell, not quite up to our standards for stitched images. --Dschwen (talk) 22:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

- Hmm. I'm not really any good at perspective correction - the programs I use (GIMP and, uh... GIMP) have extremely limited abilities in that line (But, hey, my own work is mostly of self-made scans of engravings.) Anyone want to have a go at sorting this out? Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- You can forget about that. GIMP won't cut it here, as it cannot properly handle the wraparound in the 360 degree projection. Actually it only works on rectilinear pictures, which this is not. Restitch with vertical guides is needed. It puzzles me a bit, that someone who is obviously able to stitch such a big image without a lots of obvious stitching faults did not manage to get the verticals straight. --Dschwen (talk) 22:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- Weel, there's a lot of arches. I imagine that can make it awkward. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I don't think a wide panorama is a good way to depict this subject except (maybe) as an academic or artistic experience. The fact is it does not illustrate what the thing really looks like. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- I was there today. It's not really a bad depiction, on the whole. Might cut it into two images - forwards and back - but it's a reasonable depiction on the whole Though I must say it misses out a lot of the interesting stuff there. I should dig out my camera and make a Valued Image Set or something (my camera is not good enough for FP) Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Dschwen. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 23:58, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
