•  Info created, uploaded and nominated by Benh (talk) 17:54, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Info Mosaic of 16 photos stitched with Hugin using panini general projection. Has about 240° of horizontal FOV (I think a tad less). - Benh (talk) 18:34, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Seasonal topic in northern hemisphere -- Benh (talk) 17:54, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment I love that the low sun is making the shadows look like the small houses were skyscrapers, but are you really sure about that blue saturation (exif +28)? It is a bit overwhelming. --Cart (talk) 18:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment It's hard to say... I have tried desaturate the blue channel but then the sky becomes grey-er. If I move the WB to warmer side, the snow becomes yellow... Give me a moment, I'll try to find a compromise. - Benh (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• @W.carter: I think u were right. So I toned down the saturation. Thanks - Benh (talk) 18:09, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks, now I can remove my sunglasses. :) And of course  Support. Cool idea and good detail. The categories are a bit "all over the place", I'll see if I can help you with that. A {{Panorama}} tag with some info about how many photos where used and such, would be appreciated since I guess this is not a single shot. --Cart (talk) 18:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Yes it's a mosaic shot. I'm not really up to date about the templates, so thanks. I'll share the details. I gave a thought about categories, but couldn't find a better one amongst those I could choose from. - Benh (talk) 18:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Cats fixed. Have look. --Cart (talk) 18:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• You didn't change the "place" categories, but I still updated the one for this FP candidate. - Benh (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• I left that to you since I thought that you knew better than me if it was a place where people were actually living (settlement) or just an event resort (other). --Cart (talk) 19:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Definitely a resort, so let's go for "other" :) - Benh (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Info Also toned down the clarity... was a bit over the top. - Benh (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Interesting. --Podzemnik (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support - Impressive. This photo really moves. I love the curves and lines. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:35, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support per Ikan. --Aristeas (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support --Killarnee (T•1•2) 18:08, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 04:39, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment Impressive quality for drone shot (?). But isn't it quite distorted, especially in the lower corners? —kallerna (talk) 14:04, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

• It is distorted. The panini projection mitigates the distorsion somehow (compared to a rectilinear) and still keeps shapes "true to what you'd see in reality" but doesn't do magic. You can check Google Maps to see how it is in reality. The drone is a Mavic 2 Pro, which comes with a very nice 1" sensor camera. Only it is a bit noisy (even by 1" standards), but that isn't a big issue in bright conditions. Since it's a mosaic, the quality "per size" is quite good. - Benh (talk) 14:11, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
• There's about 200° of horizontal FOV (Hugin computed 240° but I cropped even further), so hard to avoid. I believe the stretching at the borders is similar to a 13-15mm rectilinear lens on a FF camera. - Benh (talk) 14:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Well done, unique stuff. Cmao20 (talk) 23:05, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
