- Support -- Very good compo and fine quality--Ermell (talk) 20:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment A very wow image. The close distance to the towers, and the rectilinear perspective, has resulted in quite strong wide-angle effect + vertical perspective correction. Given that the buildings are actually leaning in one part, I'm a bit uncomfortable with exaggerating things. For example, the first image on this website is taken from a height, meaning the verticals are not so distorted. But also, I'm concerned about the health of your fellow Brazilians. Look at the bottom left. They appear to be fatter than they are tall. Is there any way you can take this from higher up or further back. -- Colin (talk) 20:55, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support I was hoping this image would show up here after seeing it at QIC. Daniel Case (talk) 03:07, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support Appearance is good. ~ Moheen (keep talking) 04:35, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but I see noise on the facades and strong distortion (look at the people at the lower left) --Berthold Werner (talk) 06:37, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Support What counts are the two buildings, not the tiny people. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 16:17, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Johann Jaritz, you are wrong, a photo content is all in the cavas, we are responsible for everything in the frame, what we those to insert, and not insert. And this people occupy 1/6 of width of the photo, I should remind you that is a FP candidature, should be our best work, not a photo with faults... And people are symptomatic, the building is totally different, see my comment below. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 03:23, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Are we sure that aspect ratio is correct? It is a common mistake with vertical perspective correction to accidentally cause things to be stretched horizontally and compressed vertically (I had a similar issue myself with a slightly squished image [1]). This can happen when trying to do perspective correction manually without taking into account the focal length of the lens. That would also explain the odd proportions of the people. From Google maps it seems that in real life the buildings are taller than they are wide, but that fact is not obvious from this image. dllu (t,c) 19:10, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment and Colin comment too. Before to build this image I applied a lens correction and the verticals correction not was absolutely manual (It was with the autopano vertical lines correction help, a semi-authomatic tool). I will upload the raw files additionally. I have tried different perspectives, however, this is the one that best fits what I could see in the place, btw, I have been thinking take this photo for a while because the shape of these buildings has been intriguing to me , This is one of the strangest buildings I have ever seen. --The Photographer 00:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- dllu it's taller than wider. I already saw with my own eyes... I didn't recognize by this photo... but as we have a lot of this mirror buildings I thought that was another one that I didn't know... see how different [2] [3] -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 03:23, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- If it looks that way, I have to Oppose. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:50, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

- Oppose I'm with Werner, especially in the distortion, not even close to the real building (to a point that I didn't recognize at first, that's the level), and in a sunny day ISO 800 1/320s with a 18mm???? The result is kind of obvious... noisy picture. And this HDR look bothers me a lot, I don't know why that QI pass, and this is passing, lack of contrast is a photo killer, this bad processed image should not be FP... And I put a note about a bad artefact. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 03:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Must oppose because of the distortion. Charles (talk) 08:03, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Alternative perspective correction version
- Info Based on Colin, dllu and Berthold Werner, I was working in a alt version with a manual perspective fix, however without a noise reduction fix and nod hdr. Please, let me know what do you think. Thanks again --The Photographer 02:04, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose stills abnormal distorted, for educational purpose, this should not be approved. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 03:23, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I think the manual fix is too crude. It appears you have horizontally compressed the sides, resulting in a change in proportions that doesn't match typical perspectives. I think RTA has a point that perhaps this lowers the EV too much. Have you tried "Vedutismo" (aka "Panini general" in Hugin) for this? That won't stretch the horizontals, and will retain straight lines for vertical and for diagonals that come from the midpoint. So provided you centre your image appropriately, it should minimise the curving that a cylindrical projection can produce. Also I think this one has too much NR which has lot detail in the paving stones, and the colours are much less happy than the first one. -- Colin (talk) 08:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Must oppose because of the distortion. Charles (talk) 08:03, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
