Oppose — not each panorama is excellent. the main buildings are cut and there are many artefacts in the sky. --Euphoriceyes (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Being a resident of Dar es Salaam, I can assure you that main buildings are not cut out. The orange and green coloured buildings are a residential buildings. All the main buildings are near the horizon, in the city. Muhammad 11:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose: These buildings aren't representative for Dar es Salaam, as I know. Giku (talk)
- Are you referring to the buildings mentioned in the description? If so, those are some of the most renowned structures in Dar es Salaam. Muhammad 11:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- I mean many buildings in this image are under construction and it influences a lot on the image's quality. Giku (talk)
- The image only illustrates what is actually taking place. If buildings are under construction, then the image illustrates this process. Nothing wrong with that. Muhammad 16:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose - Nothing wrong, really. But having nothing wrong is far from enough to be featured. We expect to be surprised, wondered, either by the beauty of the photo or by its subject. This is a correct panorama, but only that. No wow. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
SupportNice work, impressive. --Dori - Talk 02:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)- Just realized that it's a progressive JPEG, which I can't support. --Dori - Talk 02:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your original vote. I'm sorry I don't understand. What do you mean by progressive jpeg, and how do you know this one is such? Muhammad 11:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- When you save the final image to JPEG, there is often an option to save it as a progressive JPEG, which means the image gets shown in progressively better quality as it gets downloaded (rather than showing the image top to bottom in the best quality as it gets downloaded). For me it's an annoying and inferior format. All you have to do is choose not to save it as progressive. --Dori - Talk 12:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- For my images that are to come, I will hopefully not save in this format. As for this image, unfortunately my upload speeds are low (2-5kbps) and uploading the image again seems like a waste of time and bandwidth. Thanks for the tip though. Muhammad 17:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose Too much sky, buildings cut off, etc. Nice job, but not featured quality. I'm sorry. How do you turn this on (talk) 19:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
