- Comment It's spinning clockwise. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- I believe it is only perspective. --Mbz1 (talk) 16:52, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- You mean perspective distortion? There may be some of that, too, but I think the main problem is that the horizon isn't level. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- I might have used the wrong word. I meant "illusion" I guess. The image is FP on Commons, and nobody there complained about it spinning in one direction :)--Mbz1 (talk) 20:58, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- Well, lucky then that we have this extra step built in where people can flag problems that were missed on Commons. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 00:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- I'll wait for a second opinion before rotating the image :)--Mbz1 (talk) 01:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

- Question You are 2=2=4? --Muhammad(talk) 17:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- You have not heard anything? Yes, it was the account I used, when I was not using my Mbz1 account. I use it no more.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, haven't heard anything. Is there a good story? I always wondered how a new user knew so much and could take such good pictures :-) --Muhammad(talk) 17:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
- I'd say it is rather a very, very sad and a very long story that I'd like to forget ASAP.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:24, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

- Comment This image seems to be a bit warped and tilted. If you have a look at the bridge in the background it looks as though it is stretched to the right, is this how the bridge is supposed to look. Also the buildings in the background towards the left look kind of warped as well as many of the other features in the foreground, like the light house for instance. Would it be possible to realign this panorama, can I see the individual images . Adam (talk) 01:19, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment, Adam. I am afraid it is not possible to see individual images, because I do not keep them. Maybe I will try to reshot the images all together one day, and for now I withdraw the nomination. Thank you all for your comments.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:37, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
