Weak support I'm not sure you picked the best projection for the job, but the stitching job looks good. —Notyourbroom (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Oppose: nice motive, but I don't like the crop at left, also the distortions are a bit disturbing, IMO. The lighting so-so (very nice sky; the right facade is completely shady; at the centered facade, the light is very harsh) and the whole image is oversharpened. Overall really not featured. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 15:30, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- Regarding sharpness, you can't have it both ways. This hasn't been sharpened, only downsampled. And when I don't downsample as per the Mont St Michel image below, you say it has low sharpness. How can anyone please you when you're picking apart an image like that? ;-) Diliff (talk) 08:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose -- Unrealistic depiction of the subject. Not even beautiful, imo. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:46, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- Weak support I think may be tripping on acid, but the distortions are what makes this image particularly special. —stay (sic)! 00:31, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose The Palace fo Fontainebleau don't look like this. --Berthold Werner (talk) 17:39, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Any image with a wide panoramic projection 'doesn't look like that', but that's not the point. There's no other way of capturing and displaying images with a wide view on a computer screen. When you view a panorama, you need to accept that you're sacrificing 'geometric realism' for the ability to see a wider view of the subject. The alternative is a more realistic view that doesn't actually show you nearly as much of the building. You might have a preference for that but it doesn't have the same purpose.

- Support Even though at least minor error stitching left. Easily the best photo of the castle in the english article. And I more than agree with David on the projection issue... how come no one complains about Antartica being so huge on earth maps ? On the other hand, I also have to admit the square shape information go the castle is kind of lost here (at least hard to figure out). And we have to give credit to author for getting the sun window, the weather is horrible in July in Paris and around... - Benh (talk) 10:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for you support/sympathy Benh. I thought I was quite lucky at least get the shadows mostly even on both sides, as it's impossible for two opposing sides to be sunlit and overcast days are never very aesthetic. I was cycling across France for two weeks and I think it rained 11 of 14 days, sometimes very heavily. Not great for photography. :-) Diliff (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
