•  Oppose Sorry but that perspective distortion is too heavy for me. Unfixable, IMO.--Peulle (talk) 07:29, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support One more hitchcockian picture... --Yann (talk) 10:15, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --fedaro (talk) 10:18, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Question - What is in the cart, and why is it leaning to the right, with its wheels out of alignment? I think that's what Peulle was talking about, and if there's a satisfactory explanation for it, I want to hear it. Thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:09, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

• The cart is leaning due to the perspective distortion which also explains why the people are leaning in unnatural ways. I agree with Peulle that this is too much for an FP. I'm waiting to see if this is fixed before I vote. --cart-Talk 11:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment Perspective distortion due to use of a wide lens from a low position. The low angle was required to include more of sky and less of ground. The distortion was part of the composition, the whole point of which was to capture a sense of the place. Trying to fix the perspective will destroy the aesthetics of the image and I am not keen on doing that. It's a image donated to Commons, so people are free to fix things/create derivatives, but I would not like to be involved in such things -- Dey.sandip (talk) 16:32, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Perspective distortion is too disturbing to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support The perspective distortion is deliberate and this is not an architectural shot, so who cares? Artistic license. -- Thennicke (talk) 02:38, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support--Nikhil B (talk) 05:30, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't mind the distortion of the cart but the leaning people are too much. I also think the photo lacks an overall wow. Sorry. --cart-Talk 08:23, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Wolf im Wald 10:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per other opposes. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:10, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Great wow for me. Maybe would be even better after removing half-pigeons on the borders. --- [Tycho] ^talk 14:53, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose An interesting picture but, per cart and others, serious perspective problems. Daniel Case (talk) 15:27, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support perspective is ok. --Ralf Roleček 11:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per others. -- Colin (talk) 11:40, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment TBH, comments above the perspective are quite out of place. IMO, the very wide angle adds to the mood. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:45, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Comment I'm quite surprised that so many reviewers think that normal perspective is a flaw... --- [Tycho] ^talk 17:42, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per cart. Leaning people is the best example how distorted this picture is. It undoubtedly has some kind of scary wow in it, though. -- Pofka (talk) 17:04, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
