Big gaps -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:21, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Info All by -- Wilfredor (talk) 12:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Please add the {{Panorama}} template to the description page. I am impressed by the obvious pall of smog over the city, but also by the contrasting state of the buildings, from obviously wealthy to rather poor buildings even in a single quarter … this depicts social inequality well. --Aristeas (talk) 18:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

• Oops – see the comments below about the stitching errors. I had checked the horizon and the upper buildings before voting, but as I now realize I should have checked the nearest ones instead, because parallax errors are more likely to show up in the foreground. --Aristeas (talk) 12:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

 Done São Paulo is a vibrant and lively city, especially at night, but it is also a city steeped in chaos and insecurity. With a population of 40 million (Greater São Paulo) inhabitants, pollution is a constant threat, which feels suffocating and falls on the city in the form of drizzle almost all year round. I remember having to clean the windows every day and there was always a black dust. The streets are chaotic, filled with traffic and beggars especially in the center, and the contrast of social classes is overwhelming. However, despite all that, the people of São Paulo are friendly and charming, they seem happy and work hard to improve their lives. They look beyond the pollution and chaos, and find beauty in diversity and in the strength of their community. I consider portraying these things, even though they are unpleasant, to raise awareness, because for the developed world, these realities seem unknown and they seem to want to ignore them --Wilfredor (talk) 20:09, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Reminds me of when I was younger and we'd drive in to New York City from our home in suburban New Jersey. There's a stretch of I-78 just north of Newark Airport where the Lower Manhattan skyline comes wondrously into view right ahead, and under the right circumstances in wintertime, there was a similar inversion layer visible over the city, albeit a much fainter shade of beige.

•  Support Very extensive panorama and long sight lines in spite of the smog. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Dominating view point -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Oops. While I noticed the stitching errors on the previous nomination, I did not expect to find those here -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:03, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Come on guys. Did you even look at the photo ? How can this get this many supports when the stitching error are this obvious even on the thumbnail? The buildings look like Picasso's cubism - Benh (talk) 10:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Benh. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 11:34, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose It needs indeed a lot of rework + the sky looks overprocessed Poco a poco (talk) 11:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Comment Wilfredor, feel free to drop me a line if you get stuck while reworking this image. I'm a far cry from being a panorama expert, but looking to improve :). In this case, I'm curious to understand if tools like SmartBlend can minimise these parallax issues, or if you would need to reshoot the image with the lens rotating around its nodal point. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:00, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Julesvernex2 Thanks for your help, however, the problem is that I don't have the individual images to try to make a better union --Wilfredor (talk) 21:47, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 Not fixed Still obvious stitching problems at multiple places. -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Technically inadequate, I'm also not overwhelmed by the motif. --Milseburg (talk) 16:26, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
• I do see some problems, especially on the building that's 2nd from left in the foreground. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:02, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination I would like to apologize for wasting your time by submitting this photo with issues that appear to be unfixable. I genuinely did not realize this as it is a photo I took a long time ago and I failed to notice the obvious flaws in the foreground. Thanks for the feedback --Wilfredor (talk) 03:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

  @Julesvernex2 offered to help, and I could give it a go as well. Up to you. - Benh (talk) 19:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

thanks for your notice --Wilfredor (talk) 21:47, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
