Support It's not any type of plant or animal, for sure. In case anyone asks, I didn't crop out the upper left corner because it adds interest through contrasting elements and scale. Also, I corrected for barrel distortion from the wide-angle lens used, but made no attempt to adjust the perspective distortion inherent to such wide angles of view, since that's the whole point of this image. -- Ram-Man16:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The angles of the paves seem red (may someone remember me the physical term ?) and the image does not have a so good "psychedelic" effect. Sorry --Alipho18:53, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think you probably mean the reddish color fringing, or chromatic abberation? I replaced the old image with a new one to try and combat the effect. I think it looks a bit better now. -- Ram-Man19:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I'm not sure how to use this image to illustrate wide angle lens distortion. But I like it, the whole surface looks like a hill whose top is the centre of the pattern. Once again aesthetics prevails over objective value... Alvesgaspar20:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Almost every (and maybe all?) picture I nominate is used in at least one article, even if just a stub. I used this one in en:Paver (flooring), but it could be useful in other places perhaps. -- Ram-Man00:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the only problem i see is the drain, have you tried cropping out the top left corner a bit so that the centre of the circle is in the frame, but the drain is removed. Chris huh11:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have, and I really didn't like the look. It's probably a personal artistic type of thing, but I think it looked monotonous without it. I uploaded a cropped version. -- Ram-Man12:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but for me, it is not aesthetically pleasing, there is no wow factor, and the manhole is disturbing. --Digon313:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I really like how you are being drawn by the repetitive pattern to the contrast of the manhole cover MichaD16:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I prefer the other one because the manhole cover adds contrast, interest, and balance to the scene, but this one is alright. -- Ram-Man12:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
