Stitching error?

•  Info The Central Library in Brooklyn, a NYC landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. I love the scale and design of this grand front facade, with a 50-foot entrance, curve meant to be an "indent" of the shape of the plaza it sits in, gilded literary figures, etc. The building is overall shaped like an open book, with this entrance serving as the spine. I've attempted to get a good shot of this building several times. Every time somehow something isn't quite lined up. Finally, I looked at a satellite image. Sure enough, the plaza itself isn't aligned with the entrance! So I've indeed done the best I can, and am finally content with the result. :) all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:43, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry but this harsh light combined with that asceptized architecture leaves me unmoved. Quality image -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:03, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose per Basile, great quality image but I do find the architecture pretty boring and it's still disconcerting how everything is not quite lined up Cmao20 (talk) 00:10, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment Going forth and back on this photo, I confess that this kind of architecture somehow fascinates me – for me it looks so very “American” with its attempt to glorify learning and education (I really appreciate that, no irony!), but also with an inclination towards emotionalism and big gestures. Regarding the light, I think that the strong light actually works in this case – is a good match for this kind of architecture. I only see two technical issues: (1) is there a stiching error in the inscription on the right (see image note)? (2) I understand that it is impossible to get everything lined up, but IMHO the verticals could be straight, at least the verticals of the main portal certainly should be vertical (they are tilted a bit). --Aristeas (talk) 09:57, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Won't have time to fix the stitching error, and this isn't really going anywhere anyway. Ah well. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
