•  Oppose Good composition, but the stitch error is just too distracting. Maybe it can be fixed. Dori - Talk 03:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

 Question May I ask what stitch error you are speaking of? If you are referring to the black line in the upper right corner, that is actually the wire supporting the mesh behind home plate.

• I'm referring to the base of the tower. I'm assuming that's not how it looks in real life. Dori - Talk 12:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Support(hasn't fixed) Great compositiom nice detail! But please correct the light line at center, under the tower. --Beyond silence 08:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Question What's the vertical orange strip going through the middle of the stands? --Benjamint 13:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

  The orange/yellow strip is the right field foul pole. At the rogers center the use more of a mesh instead of an actual pole --MarcusObalMarcusObal 14:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose --Stitching errors (at the bottom of the tower, at it's middle, on the roof at the left), the tower is not vertical and the cable should have been removed. Sting 15:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Good if it wasn't for the pretty bad stitching error mentioned by Dori and Sting. -- Slaunger 20:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Karelj 21:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Very nice composition. I am just wondering about the yellow bit in the middle (as Beyond silence, I suppose). --Thermos 17:24, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose very visible stitching error at the base of the tower Tbc 17:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment As I indicated above, the yellow line, although not harmonious with the blue background, was not a stitching error. It is in fact the right field foul pole. The errors that people are pointing out exist in the base of the tower and the roof ine. To be perfectly honest, I am still learning to use photoshop, and do not know how to fix the errors myself. I have posted the original photos on my user page because people have offered their services to do a better job combining the photos. In fairness, when I offered this up for featured picture I did not see the stitching errors. However, I havent seen any really good photos of these Toronto landmarks together yet, and am hoping someone can help me out! Thanks for the effort everyone! --User:MarcusObalMarcusObal 23:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Due to stitching error. Dori - Talk 19:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose There are still at least two stitching errors. A very obvious and distracting one at the base of the tower, and a less obvious one half way up the tower. -- Slaunger 21:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose But the orange line was not an error, why not fix the stitching instead. /Daniel78 21:48, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see that error. --Beyond silence 22:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

• Maybe you need glasses :-) look on the roof on the left of the picture (white with vertical stripes)... I've done a new stitching and it will be in wiki in 10 minutes... Sanchezn 23:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

• Here is a new version without stitching errors (I hope... but I don't find any), you can create a new nomination... and the tower is vertical (only for you beyond :-) ) Sanchezn 23:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
• Sanchezns work is good. /Daniel78 23:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

• Bad projection type (visible on the bottom corners)... I correct tomorow. Sanchezn 23:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Agree with Daniel. Acarpentier 02:43, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Info Stitched using Hugin. The orange vertical line is back (it's not an error!)

  •  Support Excellent stitching! I was trying to stitch them up myself with PTGui but the images were giving me fits. Sanchezn, could you give some hints how you aligned those three images so well? For instance did you correct for perspective tilt, or lens distortion, or anything like that BEFORE stitching? I noticed in your first version, the people in the foreground look skewed, and the left field fence looks tilted forward. In your latest version, it's really just perfect. How on earth did you fix that? JaGa 08:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

• I rotate 90° each picture before stitching, because for cylindrical or equirectangular projection, the cylinder axis is vertical. Sanchezn 12:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose orange vertical line is distracting! --Beyond silence 13:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

• Like the white lines on the grass... you want I remove them ??? Sanchezn 13:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose --(weak oppose)  Support No need to keep the wire at the top right : it brings nothing to the picture, is distracting and makes now a curve. (cable has been cloned out) It could be also good to mention in the description page what the orange line is, as even at 200% it's not possible to determine it's use. Sting 17:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC) P.S. : the stitching is very well made this time !
  •  Comment Would you consider moving to Support - or at least Neutral - if the cable were cloned out? JaGa 09:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Sting 22:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I applaud the stitching work Sanchezn! And thank you for preserving the original photographs too. I feel that the yellow line (foul pole) should be left in the picture as it is physically at the field and a part of the game of baseball. It is a part of the picture, not a mistake and removing it would be misrepresentation. For asthetic purposes, the cable in the top right corner could be removed simply beacuse it's purpose is not clear, but I dont see that as necessary. Thank you for fixing the problems, I'm still new to the world of photoshop. --[User:MarcusObal|MarcusObal]]MarcusObal 19:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

• I don't use Photoshop... I use only free softwares. This stitching was done with Hugin and for other things, I use The Gimp. Sanchezn 23:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Support I don't mind the cable that much, but it could of course be removed. /Daniel78 22:19, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment It has come up before on the English wiki FP site that pics of MLB games are ineligible since they are not "free". According to the discussions there, the back of MLB game tickets basically requires you to get MLB permission to publish pics. I have no idea if this is true or if it is relevant on the commons, but I thought I might bring it up, just in case. --66.112.105.200 04:44, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Yay! This picture is finally nicely stitched :-) But a version without the orange pole would be nice, purely for aesthetic reasons as I'm sure that educational contexts this picture would be used in are not using the picture to describe the function of the pole --Ben^hello! 06:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support ...as before, I think it is a good picture. --Thermos 14:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Don't like the composition. Lycaon 04:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support uncommon composition, good quality --Jklamo 01:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
•  CommentIn response to the anonymous user above, I took a look at the ticket holder agreement for the Toronto Blue Jays, and it includes the following line:

"The Holder will not transmit or aid in transmitting any description, account, picture or reproduction of the game." Perhaps it would be best if this was not a featured picture for that reason. Thank you very much for the support and corrections everyone! -MarcusObal 05:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
