OrthographicQuad edit

Orthographic panorama of the Stanford University Main Quad.

Unique depiction of the Stanford Main Quad, a key campus landmark. Created by me, composed of 166 separate photographs.

Oppose well constructed panaroma with consistant light, the central feature is where the photographic method is most apparant and are where my reasonings for opposing occur. What has happened is that the buildings behind have been multiplied and the perspective line are diverging instead on converging. This was caused by too frequently moving the camera position to subject. This area should have had very minimual camera repositioning. Gnangarra 06:15, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, regretfully. Interesting technique - you have moved sideways for each picture, so this picture is actually rectilinear. However, the ever changing viewpoint messed up the pattern of the roof tiles - I bet the roof doesn't look like that! Also, the floor line is a bit wavy. --Janke | Talk 06:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I liked it. Well constructed. The roof tiles occupy a small proportion of the pic - I only noticed the problem after reading the above comment and going back to check. (Now I know its there, its all I can see.) --Billpg 06:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Ack Janke, I've just been there last Weekend and the pic doesn't do justice to it. The verticah size is too small, there is strong moiree in the roof tiles. Also there are duplicates in the background. --Dschwen 07:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Wow, 166 photos! That's like 3 per arch or something. A for Effort anyway. Stevage 08:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Hell of a lot of work in this, problem is it's just not informative (the other pics on the article show me much better how Stanford looks). But, as Stevage says, big congrats for effort - Adrian Pingstone 12:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Impressive effort, but besides the problems with the roof tiles, it's distractingly oversharpened. -- Moondigger 12:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This picture does not add value to the article and help complete readers' understanding of an article in ways other pictures in the article do not. Besides this picture will not appear good on the front page of wikipedia as well. Within a propper context this will be a great image--

It is irrelevant how many edits I made, also my contribution may as well be more to this page for the future as well. The essence of what I said is true according to the criteria for FPC Wikipedia:What is a featured picture? . There is a great need of a proper group of photo editors to comment on photos which appears on the front page of such a great project as wikipedia!!--Pedit 02:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
