This is one of few photomontages that we have on all Wikimedia projects, and IMO one of the best! I was going to nominate this for FP, but it seems digital manipulation is unacceptable here... however, I believe it's very educational, also it have great value because it was made by a wikimedian using content from wikimedians, sources are clears and it has a free license. I would like to hear others opinions about this work and it's possible FP nomination.

- The reflection of the satellite dish seems unrealistic and seems to appear combined with the reflection of the hills. There are signs of clear manipulation beneath the Broadway towers. There's something funky going on SE of the person where the boat meets the water and where the water meets the shore (looks like a stitching error). There's another stitching error in the lower right. Focus is very inconsistent: the red church is OOF, the Maoi statue on the other side (which I presume is equidistant from the "camera") is focused, the trees next to the Maoi stature are not. I think (based on my outdated opinion) for this subject FP standards are higher. MER-C 12:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'll try to fix those problems and upload a new version within few days, I just couldn't understand what you mean by this: "something funky going on SE of the person where the boat meets the water and where the water meets the shore" where do you mean exactly? ■ MMXX talk 18:17, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Fixed I have uploaded a new version, please see how is it. ■ MMXX talk 11:42, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

- As far as image manipulations I think side-by-sides tend to be more educational then random things like this. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 02:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

- I definitely wouldn't throw out the concept of a photo montage for FP altogether, but it would need to be more realistic looking in my opinion. The lighting and DOF seem to be too inconsistent currently to look like a real photo. To clarify MER-C's comment: there is some kind of stitching error directly below the boat. There is solid near-vertical division between water and rocks on the shore. Jujutacular T · C 18:31, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- I actually like this, because the lack of realistic content, while being photoshopped to have realistic reflections and such, is useful for illustrating the concept. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:19, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
