Caral Pyramids edit
Wide view of the ruins at Caral, the most excavated ruins of the oldest known civilization in the Americas, the Norte Chico civilization. The Norte Chico Civilization is believed to have started around 3500 BC on the coast and the city of Caral was inhabited from 2627 BC to 2020 BC.
I think these ruins are of enough historical importance that they should get a featured picture. I put the best photos I've taken of it in the Commons. If these photos need editing for colors or cropping I can do that, but I don't have a very nice program to restitch them (I could provide the source images if others want to). Also I live about 10 miles from these ruins, so I could go back and take more pictures if I knew what I needed to do better.

- Well, the image has been removed from all articles, so before you can convince featured picture voters that it contributes to the articles, you need to convince editors who are editing the relevant articles that it contributes to the articles. I'm not certain that a panorama is the way to go for this subject, because it's a lot of very brown empty space, and it doesn't look very important, even it if is archeologically important. I think the lack of contrast is the biggest visual problem; look at the current featured picture landscapes for a general idea of what kind of image could become featured. The stitching errors are also too great for this image to be featured. If you want advice about stitching images, I gather that "autostitch" is a free program that's the way to go. Here is a failed feature picture candidate that had serious (yes, more serious than the problems you have) stitching errors and got a bit of discussion about stitching.
