I think this is a great image. It was taken by Scaengel on the German Wikipedia from the Maintower. It is used in both the Germany and Frankfurt articles. The only flaw I see is that the first skyscraper on the left is partially cut off on the top. The aspect ratio may make this article a little tricky to put it on the front page, but if it is supported, we could probably figure out a way to do it.

  • Support Nice Pic. What camera/stitching software did you (Scaengel) use? Have uploaded an edit with some color correction - I felt the original too blue. --Fir0002 www 07:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
    I'm not sure what s/he used as far as software. I just happened to notice the image while browsing the Frankfurt image. I like your edit too. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Finally! thought we'd never have another one here again for a while there. shame about the top of that building but nothing's perfect.--Deglr6328 10:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Sorry but it's just too wide. Too much is happening and there's no focus. At this aspect ratio, it doesn't work in a thumbnail at all and it doesn't look great in the articles it's illustrating. This could be chopped down to 1/3 or so of the width and make for the ultimate Frankfurt pic and a good FPC.--Zambaretzu 11:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support for the second. Panoramas are great, but this isn't the best of them, especially since the city is mostly in shadow. The picture does illustrate its subject most effectively, however, and it is interesting. bcasterline t 17:48, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I love panoramas because there's always more than meets the eye. In particular, I like how you can see the trainyards in the background of this one. Anyway, I think this is a pretty good picture. --Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 00:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose - that cut-off building... --Janke | Talk 06:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose - a interesting approach. But why Frankfurt? A city world famous for it's sterility. --Philopedia 18:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC) (who lives near Frankfurt)

  • Oppose. The horizon is wavy and warped. It could be improved with better stitching and I may support then. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose I don't know exactly what it is, but this picture just doesn't capture the eye (criteria 3). Too grey, and immediately when looking at it I felt lost, as it is too wide and has no place to focus. Not a completely neutral view, but by way of comparison I scrolled past the picture from the Top of the Rock, which has better quality and is easier on the eyes. It just doesn't quite cut it. --The1exile - Talk - Contribs - 18:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
