•  Support, tending to weak Great quality, and surely a very useful picture, but I do find myself missing a bit of sky - I think that'd help make an aesthetically better picture. Cmao20 (talk) 19:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Cmao. This is a very useful picture and would get my vote for a Wikipedia FP (where encyclopedic value is more important). For a Commons FP it doesn't wow me enough and I get the feeling the view is too tight, it cuts off too many houses (but I don't know the area myself). – Lucas 20:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Very good panorama, but with the caveat that I don't know Dortmund, the view feels kind of random to me and not too inspiring. Could be a good VI and definitely a good QI, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. --Cart (talk) 08:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment @Cmao20 (talk) @Ikan Kekek (talk) @Cart (talk) @Poco² Thanks for you thoughts! But it is`nt a random view of Dortmund. The panorama shows the whole centrum of Dortmund in a very high resolution. It is a crop of a Gigapixelpanorama, shooted from the television tower "Florianturm", which is 219 Meter above the city. If I would crop it until the horizon to show the sky, it would not be a "Dortmund City" panorama.DerMische (talk) 15:54, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@DerMische I think nobody doubts technical quality or usefulness of your panorama. I think that folks are missing "wow factor" that is possibly the most important for FP star, and composition that is easy to identify. --Podzemnik (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

I understand what your intention was, but the result is not outstanding to me. The lighting is not especial, the contrast maybe a bit too high but the crop everywhere lacking a balance with the sky is what I really missed here. There are cases where what you aimed to do may work but for that there should be some kind of clear separation between the subject and the surroundings (e.g. with help of a city wall).

•  Comment @Poc @Podzemnik Thanks for you statement. Now I understand your point better. DerMische (talk) 08:45, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Hazy background, cut tight at the top. Not very special -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:18, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. A pity ... this is so finely detailed and a pleasure to get lost in, but as a whole image it ... well, first it tries to do too much: I think from this angle an image of just the high-rises around the church spire would give us what the photographer wanted. Second, we should remember that most of our featured panoramic cityscapes usually contrast the city and its buildings with at least the sky, and more often any features of the surrounding natural landscape. Since we're looking down on Dortmund here, we don't have that, and it suffers for it—more reason it would work better with less of the city. Daniel Case (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose crop -- Piotr Bart (talk) 11:56, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose. A bit of sky would be nice. Vulphere 14:10, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
