•  Info Main façade of the Monastery of Alcobaça, Portugal. All by Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Support -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Support Nice symmetrical composition. A bit unsharp/noisy at the top due to the projection, but OK IMO given the high resolution. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:56, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Support --IamMM (talk) 05:48, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment The right wall seems slightly cooler and darker than the left one, perhaps the two frames have different white balance and exposure settings? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:43, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• I agree, though the difference is so small that I had to confirm it digitally... Later today I will check the original photograms. Where the difference is notable is on the two parts of the roof, due to the distinct viewing angles. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:36, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Little stitching problem to remove right of the stairs, see note. --Milseburg (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Also on the left side of the stairs, below the statue of St. Benedict. Both stitching errors seem due to parallax? -- Julesvernex2 (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Have you tried using SmartBlend as the blend tool for Hugin (also works for PtGui). It is quite good at resolving some parallax issues. -- Colin (talk) 18:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks for the hint, Colin! I will investigate how to install it in Hugin. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:10, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Info Thanks to Julesvernex2 and Milseburg for noticing the issues. I made a new panorama from scratch, in order to minimize the small stitching errors (due indeed to parallax, I believe). As to the different "whites" on the let and on the right they are probably due to the different viewing angles of a surface that is illuminated by parallel rays. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:10, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Ah, good point! That would indeed explain why the reflected light slowly increases from right to left (most visible in the roof, but also a bit on the wall) -- Julesvernex2 (talk) 21:45, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• A great view! Just as a question: Are the bright buildings on the left and right really painted with a bluish paint? Else the white balance should be moved towards the warmer end. --Aristeas (talk) 08:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
•  Info Hi Aristeas, I believe so and the white walls really look like they were painted recently. I didn't touch either the brightness or the temperature of the photos and trust the automatic WB of my camera in these mid-day, bright sun situations. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
