Neutral It's technically flawless. Artistically speaking, I find it "boring" (unlike the other FP candidate panorama), so hence a neutral vote. -- Ram-Man 17:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)- There is no single correct way to correct for panoramic distortion at extremely wide angles, because it is a 3D projection onto a 2D surface. It's the same problem map-makers face when dealing with large scales. Cylindrical mapping would be great if we had an easy way to view it! -- Ram-Man 21:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- From my experience, and given Dschwen used equirectilinear (or something close) mapping, cylindrical mapping doesn't change that much the final result. To me, it has often resulted in similar picture which seems only stretched (a little) vertically. But maybe it won't hurt Dschwen to give it a try... Benh 20:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Cylindrical mapping doesn't change much and only makes sense if a panarama viewer applet is used. --Dschwen 08:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- My point about cylindrical mapping was that we really can't view it realistically. I was not saying it would be good to apply it to this image. At extreme wide angles you can't correct for all perspective distortion without introducing some other form of distortion. I personally find the distortion in this image ok, but others may not. -- Ram-Man 19:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Question Is there a possibility to watch panoramic pictures in wikipedia ? --Makro Freak 19:20, 17 May 2007 (UTC)- Support, very sharp and clear, I like it. --typhoonchaser 06:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support, a sharp clean image that works well. MatthewFenton 11:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
