Info San Carlos de la Barra Fortress is a seventeenth century star for protecting Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. The fort is one of a number of coastal fortifications which the Spanish built in Venezuela in colonial times. In the nineteenth century Venezuela achieved independence and the fort continued to be maintained as part of the country's defences. It saw action in the Bombardment of Fort San Carlos when it was attacked by the Imperial German Navy during the Venezuelan crisis of 1902–03, all by -- The Photographer (talk) 13:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Comment This is a great panorama and composition, but there are a number of stitching artefacts in the unsharp region in the foreground that need to be fixed in my opinion (I marked a few of them in annotations on the nomination page). -- Rftblr (talk) 13:46, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Done Let me know if it is done. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 14:16, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's now mostly fixed however in the indicated region (annotation) the transition between the unsharp and sharp region is artifically harsh, and in some places (bottom right corner of the region), the clone stamp tool that was used is visible (as you seem to be using Photoshop, I suggest to use the tool with a feathered border) -- Rftblr (talk) 14:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done I removed cloned areas, however, transition is actually two walls, one above the other. Let me know that do you think now? :p --The Photographer (talk) 14:43, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support Transition looks natural and good now. And as I said: great pano! -- Rftblr (talk) 14:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

- Support - Unusual composition. It doesn't really hit (wow) me emotionally, but I certainly appreciate it as striking, interesting and good, apart from the historical significance of the motif, which you helpfully explained above. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- btw, the fort has been closed for several years. To do this shoot I had to swim with the camera in a plastic bag, you can not get there from the sides of the fort. --The Photographer (talk) 20:42, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- That's real commitment! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:40, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
