- Support - Colorful. Good night photography. I'm curious: How long an exposure did you use? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:54, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Info It is a blend of two exposures: 0.5 s, 2 s. dllu (t,c) 05:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Some of the reflections, particularly near the center, are posterized, and the composition doesn't excite me. Daniel Case (talk) 19:44, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment If you consider the bi-directional reflectance distribution of water and the radiance of those gas discharge lamps, then you'll realize it's not possible to make the reflections not blown out. The brightness of the reflection is almost the same as pointing your camera directly at the gas discharge lamp. dllu (t,c) 05:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

- Support However the right part has a 1° clockwise tilt. Some vertical control points might help. -- Colin (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Question - How can you tell it has a 1° clockwise tilt? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ikan I take stitched pictures myself so have an eye for the possible flaws. The easiest way to check verticals is to open the image in a simple viewer like IrfanView and draw a selection box (with that program, one can also move the box around with a right-click-drag, making it a ruler one can move about). Then find some parts of the image that should be vertical. The edges of buildings, window frames and in this case, the really tall lights are useful. Lights can be tricky as they taper and also smaller street lights are very often wonky. The writing "THE CANADIAN FISH" is also not straight and probably should be as it is perpendicular to the camera direction -- though one needs to be careful with horizontals and only really trust verticals. With IrfanView, a -1° rotation fixed the right-hand-side. The left side is fairly true, so this looks like a small error in the stitch. Dllu uses Hugin to stitch and this program allows one to mark certain points as being vertical, which helps the software line things up. Here, the error isn't big enough for me to oppose. -- Colin (talk) 08:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I'm impressed by your keen observations. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:18, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for your keen observations, it should be fixed now, although, as a consequence, "THE CANADIAN FISH" is now cut off :( -- dllu (t,c) 22:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
