Machu Picchu, Fir's edit
Cloned edges from original stitch
Machu Picchu, image cropped by Dschwen

As per previous discussions, I re-nominate the Machu Picchu panorama - this is Fir's edit. Yes, the duffel bag is retouched, but I feel having the left wall intact gives a better balance to the image.

  • Nominate and support (original). - Janke | Talk 10:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I like this edit. Mikeo 10:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks great! - Rubyk 15:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support ditto. The best part is that the ruins section (alone) of this pic is bigger than the old FPC. -Ravedave 16:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I can see Mel Gibson !!
  • Support, how could I possibly oppose? --Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 04:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but the lower corners are both missing. It should be resized a few pixel narrower to get a rectangular picture. (but this problem is only visible on the full-size version and is not that important.) - Glaurung 05:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed that (with clone brush, not cropping), and uploaded over the old file. However, I suggest Fir re-does it, from his original file. I didn't dare lower the jpg compression, so the file got bloated... --Janke | Talk 06:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support crop. Yeah, another edit, but since I'm not the only one who'd rather see it cropped, here it goes. --Dschwen 13:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My own support is for the uncropped version - I like the symmetry of the "smile curve", which is lost in the crop. Please everyone, state your preference - in this case, a simple majority should rule... --Janke | Talk 14:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original. The tree in the foreground gives an added sense of depth that is lost in the crop. - Mgm|(talk) 08:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original... if there is to be a crop... it shouldn't be beyond the peak of the bush. gren グレン 01:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original Though I like the idea of the slight crop suggested above by Grenavitar. Staxringold 15:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original. Composition is better and retouching is good enough. ~ VeledanTalk 17:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Either of the full size ones. I've uploaded a retouch of the sides from my original stitch. I've also uploaded it in a slightly darker form, and converted the adobe RGB colors (my working space) to SRGB which gives it more saturation. If that isn't what people want, I'll upload a direct original retouch --Fir0002 www 11:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
