Nuuk Panorama[edit]

A panoramic photo compilation of Nuuk, Greenland as seen from a hill near the statue of Hans Egede in the old colonial part of town. The mountain Sermitsiaq is seen in the background all the way to the left, Store Malene directly behind the city, and Kingigtorssuaq can be seen behind it to the right. Photo by Paul Cziko.

I am nominating this because I think that it is truly a stunning image and a good addition to the page on Nuuk. It has a good contrast between mountains and oceans, and is an excellent peice of photography. This would not be that easily reproduced by most English speakers, because that would involve flying to Nuuk. This is truly the kind of picture that I looked at and thought 'WOW this is incredible.'

This was created by Pcziko on Wikimedia Commons and appears in Nuuk.

Comments:

It certainly is lacking in the vertical direction, too narrow to see many buildings. The stitching is not very well done, but that can be fixed if the creator is willing to let someone around here to have the originals and do the stitching again. Also, it looks like it can be downsampled by a factor of 2 and still retain most of its details, and it would be pushing the rules if the vertical side is less than 500px high. --antilived^{T | C | G} 21:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can only agree with the comments above. Standards for this kind of scene are incredibly high (see existing FP panoramas) and this one, while incredibly interesting and encyclopedic, falls quite a way short of them on the technical side. --mikaul^talk 11:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
