- Reason
- How about a little glitz and glamour, season-themed? :) Considering the huge technical challenge presented by the scene, this has been excellently done. Put together with 51 images (and x 3 exposures)!

- Oppose - It looks great small, but the problem you are going to have with images you stitch is ghosting. When viewed at a higher resolution, you start to see double images of people, some people cut in half, etc. It just begins to look chaotic. AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 22:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support. I don't think the issues with ghosting are to do with stitching (and there isn't a single person cut in half that I can see), but I don't know for sure how it's been processed. In any case, I don't think that they're at all important when you're looking at the image. Surely the architecture, decorations and interesting projection is the eye-catching thing about it.

- An example of a ghosted person is under the tree on the left side. It's not as bad as being cut in half, but it's noticeable. Purpy Pupple (talk) 06:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support the image is impressive but there are a few people that are blurred. Nergaal (talk) 06:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Support the eye-catching quality and EV of this photo outweighs the few technical weaknesses. To have no blurry people, one would need to open up the aperture (thus softening the image) or bump up the ISO (thus introducing noise), and I think the slight blurriness is preferable to lack of sharpness or noise, since you're not supposed to be staring at the people instead (you're supposed to be looking at the architecture and the Christmas tree). Also, ghosted people are typically unavoidable in a large stitched image, and a single fisheye lens usually has less resolution and my previous point still stands.

- Support I can't see any glaring stitching errors - mostly just artefacts of a long exposure, which is fine. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:19, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support I do agree with Nergaal on the blurred ghosting, especially in the middle. It's so blurred you can't even make out what it is. Otherwise, it's an excellent piece. SMasters (talk) 07:40, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- Strong support. It's an amazing image. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
