•  Support Really good panorama. -- Ra'ike T C 17:02, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think the composition could be better, too much water. /Daniel78 (talk) 21:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
  • “Too much water”? For me, it's as if you had said “too much bricks” in a castle panorama! :D →Diti the penguin — 21:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
    • I think you know what I mean :), see Mmmx's comment. /Daniel78 (talk) 22:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose, uninteresting foreground. Try a higher viewpoint next time. --Aqwis (talk) 22:13, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose, picture is slightly tilted to the right -- Simisa (talk) 11:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral Very interesting panorama, but CW tilt should be fixed and I think a tighter crop from the bottom would work better also maybe crop out the chimney in the right to improve the composition.   ■ MMXX^talk  16:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Result: 2 support, 3 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured. Maedin\talk 12:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Alternative, featured

Well, here is a cropped version with a slightly corrected perspective:

Is this version better than the previous? --S^[1] 23:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Support - yes. Downtowngal (talk) 00:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support very good, don't you want to support this version?   ■ MMXX^talk  19:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

OK. I forgot that on Commons it's allowed to support own works ;) therefore  Support this version, too --S^[1] 20:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

•  Support --ianaré (talk) 21:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support--Avala (talk) 16:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral Better, but there is some issue on the right hand side with the tall building (very unsharp). /Daniel78 (talk) 23:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support I can now support the pic but would prefer if the small stiching error Daniel78 is mentioning could also be removed. -- Simisa (talk) 12:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Well, I presume you mean the building being under construction — now I made a new version where this one is little bit sharper. --S^[1] 16:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment I think both versions have their pros and cons, can't say I like on more than the other. But when you edited it, why did you cut off a few lines of pixels from the sky? I'd rather see more sky and less water. -- H005 (talk) 15:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC) Btw, I used to see this panorama almost daily for years ... sigh! ;-)
  • Well, I believe that I cut off very few from the sky, that was just my intention to make the distances between the main composition and the edges a bit more equal; of course I cannot guarantee that everyone will find it optimal, presumably It's more a matter of tastes (e.g. I still do not agree that the first version contains „too much water“, but other people do, as you see). --S^[1] 16:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Support now. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 17:54, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, IMHO no wow. —kallerna™ 18:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose The scene has no personality (nothing special to see), nor it's presented in an exceptional way. --S23678 (talk) 21:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose, after much thinking I agree with Kallerna and S23678. --Aqwis (talk) 09:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
