Comment Looks very good, except that not all the slices stitched together are of the same sharpness, so I think your editing is unfinished. I'll try to add some notes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
well spotted, thanks. I will take a closer look to find out what went wrong. Virtual-Pano (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done one file had corrupted exif data causing the render engine to loose track. This caused an imbalance of the colur scheme between frames and two dark vertical stripes in the sky. Hope I didn't miss anythng
I thought that the bottom part is needed to illustrate the special setting of Sovano's old town which is 'nesting' on natural rock. On second thought and after giving it a try I am in favour of a 2:1 crop. --Virtual-Pano (talk) 21:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Almost. There's still an unsharp area around the near right corner that doesn't seem justified. Have a look. Otherwise, the photo looks great. It's a cityscape to me, but I'm not familiar with the "settlements" category and tend to associate that word with illegal Jewish communities on the occupied West Bank... -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:37, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ikan. The area mentioned has been adressed. I would distinguish a settlement from a city by its size, the latter having more than 10.000 inhabitants. Sorano would therefore not qualify for cityscapes, but as I haven't been around on Wikimedia for that long, I am happy to accept guidance. Virtual-Pano (talk) 13:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To me a "settlement" is anyplace people live (unless it's specifically an Israeli settlement, as mentioned above), and communities with lower population than cities are towns, villages, and perhaps hamlets. There is still an unsharp area, which I've marked. I definitely don't oppose featuring this photo as is, but I'd still like you to fix this issue if you can. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:37, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Modified once more but not much I can do --Virtual-Pano (talk) 21:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Thanks for putting in the effort. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:50, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Ditto – thank you very much for the improvement! --Aristeas (talk) 08:32, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Changed the gallery link because this view fits better into the Cityscapes gallery; the Settlements gallery is more for “landscape […] mixed with houses where people live”. --Aristeas (talk) 06:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
