  • I would like this image to be considered for WP:FPC but I don't know how to nominate it correctly. Bikingshaun (talk) 16:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't nominate it straight off the bat because I could see a few minor issues with it that might hurt it's chances of success. I have added an edit here for you to look at and confirm the colour etc is accurate. Perspective correction, sharpen and a mild levels adjustment were performed. There is still some odd distortion going on though as the levelness of the building varies with each vertical. Noodle snacks (talk) 20:19, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • It looks to be tilted; that back corner appears to be too high for where you would expect it to be, suggesting a CCW rotation would help. This looks worse in the edit than the original, though comparing them more closely this may just be apparent due to the perspective correction done by Noodle. I suppose the best thing is to make the front edge dead vertical, but a cursory check suggests it pretty much is...hmmm. --jjron (talk) 09:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
