- Oppose I really don't see the point in this photo. Despite the claim it was taken from the highest point on the island, it seems to be the point with the worst view. There are three ugly concrete slabs dominating the photo, along with dirt paths. The distortions of a 360 panorama mean it is very hard to appreciate what the actual scene looks like. The island looks like this and there are high cliffs all round where the photo was taken. Whereas the 360x180 photos have a dedicated viewer that removes the distortion, this sort of image just doesn't work well unless the view is fantastic. I suggest you concentrate on finding the best angle from which to get the best view, and select what you want to photograph. A 360, by its nature, cannot be selective and doesn't really have a composition. -- Colin (talk) 18:33, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose as per Colin. Yann (talk) 15:59, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment @Colin: , @Yann: I thought about presenting another cut with less foreground as in the other version. But I already heard the critics, the picture would be too much like a letterbox and that there would be not to see enough in the foreground. --Milseburg (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- (I think you mean a postcard. A letter box is literally a box that letters are put into.) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:16, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- I understood the letter-box critique at that time like this: A Panorama should not have the format of the slit of a letter box. In fact this is not my opinion. --Milseburg (talk) 12:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oh. I don't see why not. I tend to be a pragmatist on things like that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:26, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Colin. Nicely done panorama but the chosen camera position isn't interesting enough for me – LucasT 17:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
