Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Black Moshannon Bog Panorama

Black Moshannon Bog Panorama edit

 
Panoramic view of the lake and bog at Black Moshannon State Park in Pennsylvania, taken from the viewing paltform on the bog trail boardwalk

This panorama is in the featured article on Black Moshannon State Park and during the peer review and FAC processes for that article, several users commented quite favorably about it, so I thought I would nominate it here and get some expert advice. The right third has some exposure issues and there is a slight stitching flaw at the lake horizon there too. I know that some FP candidates are edited, adjusted, etc. and I would be glad to upload the original eleven photos that went into the panorama if that would be helpful. I also would be OK with a cropped version if the right side is too bad. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The right third is very dark compared to the rest, so I think it'd be best to give it a crop. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The stitching problem is a major concern. Can you re-stitch the originals? Other than that, I find the main issue to be composition—I feel like the picture lacks a subject. Can you go back at about the same time of day and extend the panorama to the left, so that the water is framed by the shore? A little less sky and more land wouldn't hurt either.

    • Thanks for the comments. I stitched it with Autostitch and do not have another program (which is why I offered to upload the original 11 images used to make the panorama if someone else wants to adjust them and/or try stitching it again). I can try to go back there, but the bog will be very different in appearance (this was taken on a warm January day, now all the brown plants will be green). I guess my argument is the subject is the bog - it gives you a pretty good idea what it looks like to stand on the observation platform and look around. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
