Oppose Periodic splodges from something on the top left corner of each frame, very visible stitching lines. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:29, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In addition to stitching errors, sharpness and blown highlights are also concerns. Spencer^T♦^C 01:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Top of Mtn in center is cropped, piss poor stitching and bad exposure. FAIL. --75.69.60.172 (talk) 03:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although to be honest, I'm glad someone who can't be hauled up for AGF used the phrase 'piss-poor' to describe the stitching. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 08:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its probably the user's first nomination. Give the guy a break. Muhammad(talk) 16:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Its a nice location, so its a shame about the technical problems. The stitching errors could probably be fixed but the clipped mountains at top are a problem and the exposure is off. It would be worth reshooting. Mfield (talk) 03:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a pity that this is a disaster in several technical aspects (the stitching, most notably) because I think it could have made for a fascinating and beautiful photograph. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 07:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - awful stitching, cut off mountains, visual defect top left of every frame, overexposed, blown highlights, heavy JPG compression. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 08:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unfortunate stitching problems ruin the image. Exposure is off as well. Elucidate ^{(parlez à moi)} _{Ici pour humor} 13:49, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No need to pile on opposes, this image has top enc but fails terribly in other aspects. Would definitely support a similar panorama without the tech problems. --Janke | Talk 16:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Interesting picture with possibility to be enhanced by a little bit of editing. --Caspian blue 23:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Unfortunately the stitching, the difference in WB among the separate shots and the dirty spot on the top left of each shot spoil this panorama. Luca (talk) 17:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that this has potential to be improved with some editing, although some problems like the cropped mountain are incapable of being fixed. Dar-Ape 22:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not necessarily. Note the position of the blotch in the the mountain frames - I'd guess the whole mountain is ion the original frames. ~~Has anybody contacted the photographer -~~ we could get one of our "panogurus" to re-stich and de-blob this from the originals. As a subject, it's definitely FP worthy... --Janke | Talk 08:36, 27 October 2008 (UTC) PS: I see Mfield contacted - any luck?[reply]
  - A reply is unlikely; The user's last contribution was in January. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - No reply. If iI get an answer then I'll restitch it and fix all the issues. Until then though we're out of luck. Mfield (talk) 15:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
