Oppose - Extreme and annoying geometric distortion, poor image quality -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose TILT! The towers seem to have strange artifacts around them, I'm assuming due to a poor jpeg compression. crassic!^[talk] 11:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- FWIW, I see no such 'strange artifacts' - is your monitor/graphics card OK Crassic? There's some really bad pincushion distortion that's almost incorrectable and a far bigger issue than the easily fixed perspective tilting that it is compounded with. Mfield (talk) 19:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  - The graininess of the picture is most noticeable at that sharp demarcation between the dark edge of the towers and the bright sky. I don't think that a JPG compression problem. Incidentally, when I zoomed in on the image using Firefox's image zoom, the relatively minor... whatever you want to call them... discontinuities... became very distinct jags of darkness that aren't visible when zoomed using a proper graphics app. Matt Deres (talk) 21:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
    - That was part of my worry - people sometimes seem to oppose on problems that I don't see in PS on my calibrated monitor. Judging an image with a non ICC aware browser using its zoom function is of course completely to be avoided ;-) Mfield (talk) 22:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Point taken, I withdraw the nomination. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
