- Comment Did you use some vertical control points? Some of the buildings seem to be leaning this way or that. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Not explicitly - it was an "automatic" stitch with Hugin. I'm guessing over that angle of view, that age of buildings there is likely to be some variations. If there is a specific part of the image that bothers you feel free to point it out and I'll go back to the original images (there are five) maybe. --Herby talk thyme 11:07, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- A few of the buildings to the left of the church in particular seem to have a tilt. Adding a few vertical control points (assuming hugin can do this) should fix it easily. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

- Comment Considering that this was taken by a 14 megapixel camera, the fact that it's only 1094px high seems a bit small to me, especially since the buildings take up such a small part of the picture. I realise that it's often more convenient to work with downsampled images (I often do it myself for this reason, especially when using Hugin), but I'd like to see a bigger version if possible.

- Uploaded larger size one (pretty much full size) - "refresh" maybe. I have bandwith restrictions so don't usually upload the full sized image. The height won't be massively better given what is lost in cropping. --Herby talk thyme 16:08, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Comment. Aesthetically, I'm not a fan of the framing, with the ground level extending beyond the top of the shot on the left side of the panorama. I'd prefer to see sky across the top. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- Support I've checked vertical lines, and I believe they are OK.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Withdrawn Sadly I don't have time to deal with the changes that folk seem to thing are necessary at present. --Herby talk thyme 08:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC) Not promoted --Makeemlighter (talk) 05:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
