I've seen some better panoramas, but still very good. Its also a 360° panorama and this skyline is a classic subject.

  • To be honest, I don't like it. A 360 degree panorama, IMO, is just too much. Look at the horizon: it's all over the place. A horizon tilted at a fraction of a degree will cause people to upload an edit on WP:FPC tilting it straight - so if a panorama is too broad to make a straight horizon, it shouldn't be a featured picture. Of course, it's happened before, I believe. Aside from that, though, it's a very nice image. Zafiroblue05 21:51, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Support I think it's a great picture, and I don't fully understand the concerns over the tilt. It's a beautiful view of Manhattan, and one that certainly makes me want to go to the Empire State Building someday.The Last Melon 04:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
