•  Oppose - horizon line not horisontal. A.J. 14:28, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

•  Support Good composition and quality, genuine colours (I know the site). The tower is upright, so the picture is not leaning. The non-horizontal line is not the horizon but a nearby coast. MGo 14:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I change my vote to  Oppose because I am no longer sure about the tower, and I did not see the finger when I supported the picture. MGo 09:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

•  Support A good picture to illustrate a geological work. Who knows the local geology? Zimbres 00:24, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose - There's a finger in front of the lens (bottom right). And yes, there is a tilt. Even at coastlines, the water obeys gravity laws ;-) I put an untilted version to the right, rotated by 1.8 degrees. Please compare. --Pumbaa 09:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • As for the finger I guess you are right, but the tilt is not so clear. The tower is too small to measure its uprightness with the necessary precision. The coastline is horizontal in the modified picture but not necessarily so in reality. This depends on whether the coast has the same distance from the photographer on its left and right side. If it is nearer on the left (which cannot be ruled out) the original picture is upright and the modiefied one tilted. Roger McLassus 09:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you're right, but I'm pretty sure that the cliff from which the photo was taken is not high enough to make such an effect visible. If the photo were taken from a plane, I would agree. But the shape of coastlines can't be recognized when looking at them (almost) horizontally. --Pumbaa 16:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Got to agree it is tilted, but only by about 1° to 1.5°. Also that finger. I'd support a straightened version with the finger removed. - MPF 15:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

•  Neutral The tower is good because it gives perspective, but something's just not right. Maybe you just grow more demanding when checking out new candidates. I get the feeling you could take a much better shot in this location, perhaps on a cloudless day. --Lumijaguaari (моє обговорення) 22:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
