Moshi panorama

Original - A panorama of Moshi town in Tanzania as seen from the Zebra Hotel. Mt Kilimanjaro can be see in the background.

Edit1 -Decreased brightness of foreground

Edit2 -Suggestion for projection

Reason: Good quality, colours and EV. The only image in the Moshi article which shows the townscape. Background Mt Kilimanjaro also adds a sense of location. FWIW, even the inhabitants of Moshi had not seen such a view prior to this.
Articles this image appears in: Moshi, Mount Kilimanjaro

~~Weak Support~~Support Edit 1. The foreground seems a bit overexposed and there is a fairly clear line where (I assume) you've darkened the background. I can sympathise as it looks like the background/sky could have been hazy/overexposed without it, but I think it would benefit from having a more subtle transition and darker foreground. Nice view with good EV though. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 22:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've got an edit ready and have spent the last four hours uploading it but it's not yet done. --Muhammad(talk) 11:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Good improvement, looks much better now. How awful that it takes 4+ hours to upload 1.6mb though. ;-) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 17:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - It took much longer and ultimately failed. I had to restart the upload some time later :( --Muhammad(talk) 19:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not terribly keen with the projection used on the buildings - too much of a curve/lean developing at the edges. I've uploaded a rough edit to show how I'd have liked the projection to look - but you'd really need to apply the warping to the original to maintain quality... --Fir0002 08:33, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Outstanding resolution and angle of choice (support for the second variation (edit1), the others no). - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{__Ξ_} . -- 14:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support edit 1. It's a great image, I just wish a little more of foreground was included.--ragesoss (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
