Panorama of Guanajuato City
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places
  •  InfoGuanajuato is a city and the capital of the state of the same name. Situated in a narrow valley, most of its narrow and winding streets are alleys that cars cannot pass through, and some are long sets of stairs up the mountainsides. Many of the city’s thoroughfares are partially or fully underground. The historic center has numerous small plazas and colonial-era mansions, churches and civil constructions built using pink or green sandstone. Historically Guanajuato was an influential mining city that, in the 18th century, accounted for two-thirds of the world’s silver production.

  •  Comment The shadow in the bottom is distractiong and the image needs a better stitching, in some areas it is tilted in one direction and in some other in the other direction. Quality, on the other side is very good. Poco2 18:56, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you mark/tag some zig-zag tilting areas please? -- KennyOMG (talk) 19:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nevermind, Poco, I saw. Restitched from scratch, seems ok'ish now. Please mark if you see any errors still. -- KennyOMG (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I added 3 notes, if you fix those areas, then you are good. Still, as mentioned, I find the areas in shadow too prominent, I'd probably crop the left side, as you couldn't anyhow capture the whole city from that spot and there is not much detail there to enjoy. What software do you use for the stitching? A template like {{Panorama}} would be pretty informative. Finally, I find the file size too big, going down from 30 to 12 MB wouldn't mean a lost of quality that you can perceive IMO (My camera delivers in a frame the same resolution like this panorama and I have played around with this variables often).

        • I recommend using 11/12 for Photoshop quality == 90% for Lightroom quality (Lightroom only has 13 steps like Photoshop -- the 0..100 levels are misleading). There really is little point in using 12 or 100% as the extra bytes aren't winning anything visible. -- Colin (talk) 21:39, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • Since storage space is not an issue I'm using whatever I use for saves. And believe it or not, sometimes you can spot the diff between 90 or 98 (which is what I use). @Poco a poco: I ran into a weird problem where no matter what I do some images will be distorted and tilted after warping, have no idea how to fix it. If you encountred anything like this before and know how to fix I'd gladly take any advice. Anyhow withdrawing this one for now as it might not be fixed for some time.

            • When I asked about the SW you use my intention was to help. If I don't the tools you use I cannot say in general how you can improve your images. Photoshop/Lr would be problematic because you have not many possibilities to steer the stitching process, but this kind of tropics can be, indeed tricky. Poco2 21:00, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Great job, but the shadow in front is distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 00:41, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination for now until issues are fixed. -- KennyOMG (talk) 20:55, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
