Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Fountains Abbey panorama

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
View of Fountains Abbey looking from east to south.

An impressive panoramic image of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire by Commons user Klaus with K. It illustrates the historically important site well, showing the entire side of the structure, including outbuildings and the tower. The image is of a high resolution, so details of the stonework can be seen, and there is no evidence of stitching to be found in the sky or building. In addition, the lighting gives the photograph a suitably "brooding" quality inkeeping with the nature of the site.

Comments:

  • Great sharpness and clarity overall, the lighting is effective for most of it, but the rightmost building is very shadowy and indistinct. Is there something past it in the right 1/4 I'm missing? It just looks like trees and grass that should have been cropped out. Spyforthemoon 21:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I wondered if that would be pointed out, yes the right hand side is a bit dark. I'll have a go at cropping the right side off, as its not part of the main structure. Bob talk 21:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, my editing programme didn't seem to like the size. Would it be possible for somebody else to help, please? Bob talk 22:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The photographer here. Media:Fountains Abbey view crop1 2005-08-27.jpg shows a cropped version. Regarding the shadow to the right, in a situation where there is sun on the annex buildings it could well be that trees to the left cast a shadow onto the main building.
