This is my first panorama, so don't be too harsh on me. I currently don't have the right computer and software to process panorama's, so it took me a lot of time and effort to create this one. I will buy a new computer in a while, so this will change. As for the picture itself. When the winter starts, the sun sets earlier and the light will become a little more dull. I tried to capture this in this image. I hope you like it. Oh, and there is one stitching error for so far I can see. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's the reason for you opposing? --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 19:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You wrote it yourself - there is stitching error. And in addition, the overall quality of image is not sufficient for FP. --Karelj (talk) 23:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt a new computer would prevent stitching errors. :) --Aqwis (talk) 20:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, but it will make processing panoramas a lot easier. My computer is just too old to do so correctly. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 19:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose Featured pictures are considered some of the best pictures out there. So when not even you are convinced about the quality of your pic, you should not nominate it. Besides, try perspective correction. The viewer has the inpression the buildings are about to topple over. --MarPac (talk) 12:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say I'm not convinced about the quality. I only said there is one minor stitching error, which every featured panorama probably has. The buildings appear about to topple over in real life as well, so that's why I didn't apply perspective correction. As for the definition on FP's..I'm well aware of that, thank you. I've been here a lot longer than you.. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 12:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose A very nice stitch ! I haven't spotted the error (and I'm very picky when it comes to noticing them). I'm not too keen on the lighting (which is my main reason for oppose). I'd leave a little bit more room below too, and correct perspective so the verticals don't converge. and I understand how frustrated you can be with your computer, I did most of my panos on a 800 Mhz G4 :(. I'd give it another try. - Benh (talk) 19:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the constructive criticism Ben. I will give it another try and I think the next panorama I'll take, will be during the day. I currently have created a new panorama with some perspective correction and without the stitching error, but it isn't better in terms of the light. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment - As for the trees - the courtyard is the subject (the "hof" part of the filename), so they should be there imo. You'd hardly be able to get a picture where they weren't hiding many of the buildings, unless we can convince the council to cut' em pesky trees down. ;) Anrie (talk) 07:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
result: 2 supports, 5 opposes, 0 neutral => not featured. Benh (talk) 20:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
