Valetta, capital of Malta

Original - Valetta, capital of Malta

Edit 1 - Rotated, cropped to rectangular. For balance, I cropped a little extra from the sky than the rotation absolutely demanded - it just looked unbalanced otherwise. I also fixed a little fringing in the upper left.

Reason

high resolution, public domain, excellent view of an island country

• Oppose until tilt is corrected (current tilt is clockwise). Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't think that's true... on the far right you see the horizon and it seems straight to me... I think the problem is the city gets less tall as you go rightwards. gren グレン 23:36, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
    • It is definitely tilted in my view. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:13, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
      • Actually, you're right, it does have a slight tilt even on the horizon that could be fixed. gren グレン 15:02, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

• Comment It's stupid to fail a nom over something so easy to fix, so, if noone minds, I'll rotate this tomorrow, shove it up the page a bit, and we can deal with it properly. =) Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 208 FCs served} 00:13, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Endorse this. Can we take the nomination as suspended in a practical sense, and give it one or two more days? Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I would be happy with that as long as it's exactly two days. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

• Support, conditional on rotation. Mostlyharmless (talk) 03:08, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
  • clarify: support alt. Mostlyharmless (talk) 06:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
• Alt uploaded (Support alt) Obviously, the rotation required a little cropping. Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 208 FCs served} 14:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
• Support Alt 1 - Looks quite nice. NW (Talk) 16:03, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
• Weak support alt 1 Tilt has been fixed. There's a little bit of fringing at the top left skyline, and it could be a little bit sharper overall. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
