Comment It is nice lighting. But per Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Panoramic Overview from Glacier Point over Yosemite Valley 2013.jpg I'm concerned there is an anti-clockwise tilt to this image. There doesn't need to be much tilt for a wide pano like this to be affected -- individual frames can be ok but when stitched together the mistakes add up. Colin (talk) 13:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)- Support I can't be sure about tilt. So support otherwise. -- Colin (talk) 12:20, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

- Support The centered position of the Half Dome is in the case here very good. Nice light. I had not been there as early as you :) But I am with Colin: If you take a look on the horizon line, the tree at the right and on the Half Dome I also get the impression of a slight CCW tilt. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:16, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
- Actually it was a sunset so you just had to wait a few hours more. ;-) As for the perceived tilt, I'm not 100% sure but I don't believe the image is tilted. You can't judge the tilt from the horizon line, because there simply isn't one - you are surrounded by mountains taller than Glacier Point, so any sense of intuition about the horizon is probably going to be wrong. For what it's worth, the mountains on the far right side of the image are some of the tallest in Yosemite NP so it's not inconceivable that they would be rising much higher than the mountains on the left which are not so prominent. I put together a simple Google map overlay of the viewpoint and the lines to the prominent peaks in the image. The mountain on the right, Mount Clark is at least 1000 feet taller than the mountain on the left, and slightly closer too which would make it appear taller. The tree leaning inwards is not IMO a sign that the image is tilted, because the tree is growing out of the side of the cliff and you wouldn't expect it to be growing completely straight. All the trees in the background look pretty much straight to me, but admittedly they are very distant and it is hard to gauge the tilt accurately from them. Diliff (talk) 23:08, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
