Canary Wharf Panorama[edit]

Original - A panorama of Canary Wharf, London taken from the Hilton Docklands at Rotherhithe

Reason: I beleive that the image could be considered stunning or beautiful, as well as adding meaning to the Canary Wharf page. Canary Wharf could certainly be considered the new financial centre of London, taking the place of the tradition city. Thus I beleive that images of it truly represent modern Britain.

Comment. Looks to have a slight clockwise tilt - that's easily enough fixed, but the softness is probably not, and noise is also quite significant. A downsize would help it look a bit crisper and hide some of the noise, but wouldn't really get it up to usual FP standards. Perhaps try Picture peer review first till you get more used to the process. --jjron (talk) 16:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose — While it is stitched together nicely, the skyline is blurry and somewhat grainy. — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 17:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose a good thumbnail that doesn't quite hold up at full resolution. Durova^Charge! 20:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Date of creation should be rewritten if nothing else. I assume the date means August 11, 2008, but not everyone in the world writes the date with the day first, so to Americans, it looks like a date that hasn't yet happened. Can we make it into August 11, 2008? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wadester16 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The date is not particularly relevant to the caption, so I've removed it. Thegreenj 00:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Fairly poor image and stitching quality. I admit that I'm quite biased as I actually live in Rotherhithe, only 5 minutes walk from where this was shot from, and I could quite easily replicate this shot (admittedly not from the Hilton hotel - I don't particularly think the shot is worth paying for a room with a view ;-) ) with higher quality.

Oppose, it's a really nice shot but for this type of thing it has to be almost perfect like some of our other night panoramas. gren グレン 04:53, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - if the photo is supposed to depict Canary Wharf why is the main subject - dark water?--Avala (talk) 12:48, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Very, very noisy, which hurts the detail significantly. NauticaShad es 13:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
