Question Is it just me or is the whole thing tilted? Every building seems to be leaning to the left... gazhiley.co.uk 23:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Answer The picture is not tilted. It´s the orientation of most of the streets in Almeria in relation to the place where I took the picture what makes you have that sensation.Elemaki (talk) 00:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can also find some tilted buildings. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 09:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please enlarge this like most panos.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:46, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment I don´t know what you mean. It´s the first time I´m nominaiting a picture in en: Elemaki (talk) 00:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it. When nominating a panorama, under 'orientation': specify 'pano'. You probably specified landscape. Jujutacular ^talk 02:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. I will do it rigth the next time.Elemaki (talk) 18:26, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question/comment Is it just me or is the focus a bit off? The close up stuff is sharp, but the far distance seems a bit too blurry. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 17:34, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It´s a 22,491 × 2,699 pixels. I uploaed that size because I didn´t want to lose any details but if you want a picture more sharp you just only have to change the size a 50% down. The image still will meet the criteria for a FP and the image will be much more sharp.Elemaki (talk) 18:26, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not sure that this is stitched together straight...looking at the horizon as I scroll across, it seems to shift up and down, instead of being straight or a constant curve. Spencer^T♦C 21:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can faintly see an island or peninsula behind the city (from this perspective) which is affecting the apparent horizon in that part of the image. So unless you're talking about a different part of the image, this would be expected based on the raised position of the photographer (i.e. the sea horizon he *would* be seeing is behind the island).

Actually what you can see is not an island. Is the Cape of Gata, 50 kms away approx from the place I was taking the picture. Elemaki (talk) 13:13, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bit he is referring to (or at least the bit that looks the most odd to be horizon-wise) Is the open see above the outgoing ferry... From the tip of the Cape to the right of the picture... Seems a very very sharp "up and down" on the horizon... gazhiley.co.uk 15:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
