Oppose Quality is very high. But composition is not optimal IMO for such a perspective. A panorama where the clock tower would be in the middle would be more appealing. --S23678 (talk) 03:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment Now that you say so, it seems so obvious. I've put up an alternative. You'll have to excuse the shadow - it is not possible to have 3 sides of a quadrangle lit while the jacaranda is in bloom :-). I'm switching my support to the alternative. --99of9 (talk) 04:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

- Support Much better. Not perfect at full zoom, but a 1000 px high downsample shows that this is a non-issue. As an advice, I would suggest some HDR post-processing (enfuse) could be done to reduce contrast with the shaded area, but this could lead to bad results as well. --S23678 (talk) 04:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Comment The whole thing looks slightly tilted (the bottom edge of the left wing is lower than that of the right one). -- JovanCormac 06:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Very high quality, but I agree with JovanCormac. --Cesco77 (talk) 08:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Done How did you know I was equidistant from the two wings? Anyway, you're right, the correct rotation was 0.26 degrees - good eyes! I'd been lining up the verticals, but this horizontal is a much more accurate measure. Thanks for helping improve it. 99of9 (talk) 11:22, 6 November 2009 (UTC)- Support Yes, now is perfect! --Cesco77 (talk) 11:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose. I don't like the strong crontrast. The left corner is very dark. Too much sky. Too bumpy.--— Erin (talk) 00:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

- Support very good, nice sky -- George Chernilevsky talk 13:40, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose ?! The lighting conditions are unsuitable for an image like this. --Dschwen (talk) 17:58, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose – I agree with those who are not happy with the strong shadows. Fine image, but not FP in my opinion. How to get a more even light? – I would shoot at dusk. By the way, is it just me or are there some heavy distortions going on? --Ernie (talk) 17:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thankyou for your suggestion, but at dusk the buildings are nearly all in shadow (it is the inside of a quadrangle). --99of9 (talk) 22:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- By shooting at dusk I mean the moment when the sun disappears but there still is some rest light. The light is so even then that it produces hardly any shadows. Some people simply take an HDR during daytime though. --Ernie (talk) 09:52, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- Support I don't like panorama's, but this one is enchanting.L-Bit (talk) 20:41, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
