Support It's not easy to catch that kind of subjects in a good picture. This one is not perfect, but well done anyhow. I like it. -- MJJR 20:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support and Question. Impressive image, amazing DOF. Good image of a valuable and unusual subject on Commons. I guess it must be a stitch? Could you provide some details about the camera and software you have used to generate the panorama in the image page? -- Slaunger 09:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Info The camera is a Canon EOS 400D/Digital Rebel XTi, the lens used is a 17-50mm F/2.8. The software used to stitch is PTgui with Smartblend. The image editing(Noise removal as I took with ISO400) is Adobe Photoshop CS3. I also used DxO Optics for barrel distortion correction before stitching. I did not increase the brightness because that place is really that dark. --Base64 15:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Now, all this nice information should be added to the image page, such that it is an integral part of your image. -- Slaunger 16:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
May I ask whether there is a template for posting those details? --Base64 16:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, not that I am aware of. I normally add it into the Description parameter in the {{Information}} template. See here for an example. -- Slaunger 19:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Details about the camera used, and setting on the camera is normally automatically there in the EXIF information, but for stitched panoramas this information is normally thrown away when generating the final output as some settings may have been different for the individual images, like focal distance. Thus, it is a little more tedious to retrieve and add all relevant technical information about the image to the image page. Nevertheless, I find it very valuable as it gives hints to panorama-wannabees for how to make such cool panoramas ;-) -- Slaunger 19:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Only a couple of very minor glitches from the stitching that I can see. It forms a beautiful image and the pattern of the curves really looks nice! --WikiWookie 08:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support It almost seems like every panorama gets featured just because it's a panorama. Alas, I seem to be contributing to this some more. -- Ram-Man 22:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support very nice ! (and hard subject for a panorama I believe). Benh 21:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
