  •  Support Good quality. --Ermell 16:02, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Image can't get the promotion before perspective coorection. See the left side of the image, all vertical lines leans to the right. Please fix that --Halavar 16:15, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

File:Prague 07-2016 View from Powder Tower img3.jpg[edit]

  • Nomination Prague: view from Powder Tower towards Old Town --A.Savin 18:54, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Decline
  • The photo in general is quite good, but please talk about the pronounced slant in the road on either side of the block in the foreground. It gives this viewer a very strange feeling. If the slants are accurate, this photo should be promoted right away. -- Ikan Kekek 13:42, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
     Comment I didn't quite well understand what's the problem, Maybe you mean the uw-angle distortion, then you're probably right and I cannot do much about it... --A.Savin 17:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
To clarify: The road on the left of the building slants pretty drastically down to the left, and the road on the right of the building slants pretty drastically down to the right. If the roads are in fact level or nearly level, widthwise, I find that distortion too great and distracting to want to promote this picture, but I'd be happy to open it up to consideration at CR. -- Ikan Kekek 19:27, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose have to agree that the slants in the roads are very distracting from the image overall and too much for me to see a QI in this but CR is always there if you disagree. EoRdE6 06:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
  • I disagree Tons of images with compulsively straightened verticals have been promoted here on com:qic as long as the camera looked upward. Now we have exactly the same effect, but the camera looked downward. Yes, this is ugly in my opinion, but it is not worse than many promoted church towers. --Smial 18:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per my remarks above and EoRdE6. -- Ikan Kekek 21:45, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support I absolutely agree Smial We wave all distorted towers through because imho we overuse the perspective correction in a quite bizarre and obsessive way (what I do not like at all, but its my personal opinion). So we have to accept this as QI as well and accept the correction as an artistic decisison of the photographer. -- DerFussi 12:12, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
