Oppose - Wrong prospective --Sreejith K (talk) 11:11, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't understand your comment or how this image can be better. This image has been selected from many that I made there and IMO is the best with high EV (having all these elements inside the image). Ggia (talk) 11:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not the best point of view IMO. I'd have stepped back (provided this is possible) to try to parallelize as much as possible the vertical lines and left a bit more room around the subject. Hence wrong perspective issue mentioned above maybe. - Benh (talk) 21:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am sorry I cannot satisfy your request.. I have some other pictures of the Gates of All nations but I think that this is a good one and illustrative.. but if you go a little far away the change the perspective and the image is not the same (positions of the columns in the middle will change). BTW even two people don't like this image.. I updated this image.. (if you see the history files I tried different edits).. the new image has better contrast and colors.. If you have some technical comments please do them. Ggia (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I understand Benh's comments and I agree, but I agree to Ggia's explanations and annotations too. Given the esthetic choice of the photographer, the perspective distortion was unavoidable IMO. Matter of taste at the end ? Well, I support.--Jebulon (talk) 00:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I annotated the Gate of All nations in this panoramic image to understand the topography of that monument. Ggia (talk) 00:33, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose too many chromatic aberrations imo, noisy, colors seems strange to me, composition not featured (cutted out part at bottom, tight at the left and right, too distorted imo). --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 17:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment can you show me with some notes these

chromatic aberrations? There is space to the left and to the right and to the top.. in the bottom I think it is not necessary to have more space.. I don't find the image distorted.. it is a 28mm lens photo. Ggia (talk) 19:42, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

of course I can make notes, please visit File:20101229 Gates of the nations Persepolis Iran.jpg. I see that there's space, but I think it's too tight ("Let the poor thing breathe"). And with the distortion: I mean the Perspective distortion (photography). --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 13:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
it is a photography made by a not high end nikon 28mm lens (but made with Nikon D700). These chromatic abbreviations are minimal flows and I don't know how to fix them (they are due to the 28mm lens). I understand why you oppose.. Generaly for such flaws I don't opposing to other images. I find this image high quality, high EV and I propose to the others to support it. Ggia (talk) 13:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support The thumbnail doesn't look good (angle), but the full-view is great (quality). -- IdLoveOne (talk) 01:34, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
