Info created by Colin - uploaded by Colin - nominated by Colin -- Colin (talk) 22:28, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Support This is the newly opened western concourse for Kings Cross station in London. See page description for more details. It was taken with a fisheye lens that has a stereographic projection, which causes a little distortion. This might upset those who like their lines straight and perpendicular :-). However, the advantage is the ability to capture a full-visual-field scene with one shot. I hope you enjoy the architecture and the rush-hour scene. Can you find Platform 9¾ without reading the description page?-- Colin (talk) 22:28, 22 March 2012 (UTC)- Support I guess the kid isn't a wizard. Saffron Blaze (talk) 22:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Weak support nice and impressive scenery, and I liked the Harry Potter fan :) A shame on the distortions and on some unsharpness. Tomer T (talk) 07:48, 23 March 2012 (UTC)- Support Nice. Please count the people mit a smartphone in the hand ;-) -- -donald- (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry no. For my taste, the left part is too distorded, unsharp, with aberrations of perspective and overexposition of the screen (JCDecaux), etc. Il like the roof effect though.--Jebulon (talk) 16:47, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Jebulon. I've uploaded a new version where the JCDecaux sign has been recovered. Amazing what Lightroom can extract from a RAW file! "Your Fidelity ISA. Get it before it's gone." OK, you can't read the small print on the advert so don't blame me if you make an unwise financial decision after looking at this picture :-). Colin (talk) 18:51, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Colin, thanks for improvements. However, I cannot support cause my brain is not able to understand deformed panorama- or fish-eyed pictures. I need to see things as they look in real and in this case, I don't. Absolutely personal matter of taste, sorry again.--Jebulon (talk) 16:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
