Comment Mars, of course. Some technical flaws, but I think that we can overlook that a bit for interplanetary photography.

Comment Please crop the photo to remove the black parts away. --Donarreiskoffer 08:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- That would also remove valuable parts of the picture. --Aqwis 09:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Oppose crop/framing, can be easily fixed -- Gorgo 21:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- Did you even read my comment? If you're talking about perspective correction, there's in reality no way to correct complex distortion like this. --Aqwis 21:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- yes I did, thank you and I don't agree with you. It's not that hard to fix the distortion and the crop. (see thumbnail)
fixed distortion
- There are also all (raw) images of that mission available [1] e.g. [2] so it should be possible to restitch them.
- right now the technical flaws are way to noticable. -- Gorgo 04:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- The crop causes the loss of some interesting rock formations on the left, and other such things. I'm just not sure it's worth it, though if someone fixed the stitching errors while keeping the information, I'd gladly support their version. Adam Cuerden 07:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Support Value is amazing. An almost true-colour pano of Mars... amazing. Yes, there are noticeable and embarassing stitching issues, but restitching here is not an option and I'd like to see you go to Mars within the next 6 months and take a comparable photo if you are complaining about that. :-) I wish we could restitch it though, Hugin would probably do the job. Yes, there are noticeable technical quirks, but it is not your average stitch of your local capital city done with a Manfrotto or Velbon pano tripod and I really think that those technical deviations can be ignored to promote that valuable and difficult image. As the FP guidelines state, "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph." Freedom to share 21:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
