•  Info View from Lummus Park of Miami Beach, Florida. Panorama with feet wet. -- ianaré (talk) 20:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support -- ianaré (talk) 20:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Don't really see any educational value here, and it seems overexposed to me. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 20:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

• Actually, I thought this one was more educational, as the perspective offers a broader and more detailed view of the buildings (Miami Beach is a pretty famous city, very popular with tourists - and this is the main beach). It also shows many more people, a mix of tourists and locals. Technically it is also much more challenging, due to the many movements to be expected during its realization. I do think the other is more aesthetically pleasing, which is why I nominated both. --ianaré (talk) 05:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Support, because of the former comment. --Tintero (talk) 18:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment I marked a stitching error. Furthermore I need to see some of the girls on the right in a higher resolution to be able to review the image. ;-) --AngMoKio (talk) 19:13, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

• Fixed stitch error, thanks. I actually waited for those girls to get in field of view ;-) --ianaré (talk) 22:10, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Support I prefer that one, and like composition. I thought I was alone, but AngMoKio proved me wrong: I scrutinized the pic very closely, but spent a bit more time on right part. I think it was a bit challenging to take because of moving people. I feel the horizon is curved, but if so, I believe this improves the picture. Very nice overall ! - Benh (talk) 19:21, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I think the seaweed band caps off the composition. The only negative thing I can say is that the flag is flying the wrong way :-). --99of9 (talk) 06:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- For aesthetical reasons, I don't like the composition. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:37, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

• kind of a cheap oppose, don't you think ? What specifically don't you like about it ? --ianaré (talk) 19:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

• Fair enough, here it goes (applies to both pictures). First of all, both pictures are more or less symmetrical, which is aesthetically boring. This is a common flaw in landscape panoramas. The coloring is also uninteresting, with extensive areas of sand and sky and no warm tones (reds, yellows). Finally the distortion is disturbing. In particular, the horizon if very curved, especially in the second picture. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

• thank you for your helpful critique. --ianaré (talk) 08:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Additional to Alvesgaspar, the clientel on the beach are not of the most aesthetically attractive cross-section of humanity . . . ;-) MPF (talk) 17:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

a) I'm sure they would beg to differ. b) I'm surprised you missed out on an opportunity to support an image showing so many wild H. sapiens, in a group activity very representative of this species. --ianaré (talk) 06:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose - ditto to Alvesgaspar - MPF (talk) 10:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Nice place.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
•  Support --Pudelek (talk) 13:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose - As Alvesgaspar --Karel (talk) 16:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
