• Oppose. Sky is screwed up by the stitch. --Dschwen 22:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Support This is a very nice image, and is very encyclopedic. Much better than the other Capitol image nominee. 76.189.28.183 23:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Support Nice... except for the sky part. ^8thstar 00:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Support Very nice, though I would like to see the sky fixed a bit if possible. Staxringold _talk^contribs 00:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Support I'm supprised that nobody mentioned it, considering that its been brought up too often, but the front surfaces of the capital are pretty blown. lighting is good elsewhere . otherwise good. -Fcb981 01:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Support The Statue of Freedom has a very slight tilt if you look carefully and the dome does look slightly blown. However, none of these slight technical problems are distracting and are hardly noticeable. Oh...and very good stitching job. Very encyclopedic pic. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 02:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose unless the sky is fixed. Also, it needs more meta info: when were the shots taken, with what kind of camera, etc.--ragesoss 03:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose (for now). Per above about the sky, mostly. --Tewy 05:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. There are still some stitching errors, but they're very minor in the scope of the image. Great shot. --Tewy 19:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I love this photo - the detail is so crisp that you can see inside the windows. But the sky has broad vertical stripes. How should this balance out? Pstuart84 Talk 10:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose This really looks like a Diliff picture at first glance (and I find them outstanding), but there are too many stitching errors which should prevent it from being featured. I have spotted some and show them here Image:Capitol_Building_Full_View_err.jpg. Blieusong 16:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I'll have a go at re-stitching this if you want, no-clip. Just send me an email and we can arrange something. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose: Per above comments about the sky and the fact that this may seem a bit biased to our friends in the UK.  ~Steptrip 02:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Excuse me?! So it is ok to feature The houses of parliament and Tower bridge, but the capitol is suddenly bias? --Dschwen 08:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Eh? I'm British... why would I have a problem with the Capitol being featured? I'm not going to claim US bias, firstly because there are plenty of British pictures featured, and secondly - who gets angry over whether a picture involving their country is featured or not? That ludicrous... —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 09:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm British too, and I don't have a problem with it, so i support--Hadz^Talk 13:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Sorry: I'm new around this project, so I don't know which pictures have been featured. I've struck it out.  ~Steptrip 17:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Am I the only one who noticed that it's tilted? -- Sturgeonman 20:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the Statue of Freedom has a very slight tilt, but barely noticeable. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 02:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

The image has been re-stitched to address the sky and errors have been greatly minimized. The changes are reflected in the original image above as the edit is an objective improvement. Noclip 19:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Note: You may need to purge the cache. --Tewy 19:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Problems with stitching now gone (to my eyes anyway). Sky is slightly noisy and easily fixable but I don't think its worth uploading an edit over. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 20:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Sorry, I keep opposing this to be featured. Most of the stitching errors remain and there are even some new ones. I think the main reason for supporting this picture is its top notch quality (shaaaaarp) and therefore I think we can't let the stitch errors spoils it all. You should use horizontal control points especially to the left and right borders of the picture where horizontal lines lose their property. Also, I believe this should be easy to stitch since you are far away from the subject and parallax errors should me minimal. As Diliff proposed before, I can try to help if you want to, in which case you could email me (but I think emailing him would be better choice, he has proven his skills).
