Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham

Original - Gawthorpe Hall is an Elizabethan house situated southeast of the small town of Padiham, in the borough of Burnley, Lancashire, England. It was originally a pele tower, a strong square structure built in the 14th century as a defence against the invading Scots. Around 1600 a Jacobean mansion was dovetailed around the pele but todays hall was a result of the 1850 re-design of the house by Sir Charles Barry who eventually went on to design the Houses of Parliament.

• Comment Huge improvement in detail and lighting but the lower shooting angle has introduced some perspective distortion, easy to fix if you go back to the uncropped original. --mikaul^talk 21:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm not that good on technical issues with images, the reason the two sides aren't vertical is mainly because of the age of the building from what I have seen. Any hints of how to fix with photoshop? if it needs fixing? --Childzy ¤ Talk 10:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
    • I did it. Filter -> distort -> lens correction -> vertical perspective is probably the fastest way. Noodle snacks (talk) 13:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

• Support Panoramas are popular for architecture and detail reasons. I'd say that this is good enough. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
• Support A few minor problems in the bottom right, but otherwise very good. --Muhammad(talk) 03:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
