Info A photomontage made by compositing 16 freely licensed images, this is one of the best photomontages available on Commons.
Although rules discourage digital manipulations, but this is a fictional art work and fits very well in FP as an art work, this work should not be mistaken with a real landscape, the fact is in this work manipulations adds to it's EV .
Another version of this art work has been nominated before, in this new version, I have corrected the issues mentioned in last nomination, also I replaced the image used for earthrise with the Blue Marble which is closer to real colors.

Oppose Nice idea and in general well executed (blend, perspective, reflections). However, apart from the Kerala boat in front, nothing is sharp though the sources are). W.S. 16:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- They shouldn't be sharp, focus on different objects should be similar with it's surrounding area, it must be even as much as possible. ■ MMXX ^talk 16:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's odd, maybe you should have started of with a sharp background image then... W.S. 06:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Any landscape photo might have some OOF parts, it's not possible that everywhere be sharp, besides this panorama fits very well for this work. ■ MMXX ^talk 12:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I understand the reason for the artificial unsharpening, but it's a bit too much with Broadway Castle. All the rest is excellent work however, with great ideas. -- H005 06:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose overall not interesting --High Contrast (talk) 07:15, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looks shopped to me ;) —Notyourbroom (talk) 14:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support A good example of nicely done photoshopping. I believe most of the issues raised in the previous nomination have been addressed. --Jovian Eye _storm 14:39, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Maybe I am daft, but I don't see the point of this photomontage. It was certainly a lot of hard work (though maybe fun) to compile all the images into one whole, but normally one has a goal in doing so. This looks to me like a very random compilation of objects, technically all nicely done, but what's the point? --Quartl (talk) 08:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The point may for instance be the illustration of the technique and/or possibilities of photo-montage. W.S. 09:39, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, but for an illustration of the technique 2 or 3 pictures would have been sufficient. What do you need 16 pictures for when each additional picture only increases the absurdity of the outcome but not the range of possibilities? --Quartl (talk) 10:03, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Your question is like asking why do you take picture of a landscape while you can take picture of an object in your home and you don't have to be worry about weather or other stuff... this is just another photomontage like this, this or this one, it's a free art work with free and verifiable sources, to illustrate the photomontage techniques and to shows how can one create something using works with compatible free licenses. ■ MMXX ^talk 19:50, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hm, I should best view the picture as a work of art illustrating a contemporary artistic style. Well, it probably does serve its purpose then. --Quartl (talk) 04:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like it  Richard  [®]  21:46, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
