Support any prefer ALt. It is crisp and clear, especially the water and around. Hafspajen (talk) 03:08, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment' It's also been downsampled (compare the size of any convenient building between the two) and cropped (look at the hill on the right). Support original only. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 09:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of the alt I would like to comment on that. First of all, most panoramas are downsampled to some degree. As an image editor, I look for a reasonable balance between sharpness and resolution and the left frames used here were somewhat blurred and not perfectly in focus. If you really want to check this, download both versions and scale them to the same height. The difference is much samller than what the figures would suggest. This is not a scan where additional resolution translates into more detail because it's captured under controlled conditions. The original is also somewhat incorrect because the images were shot with different exposure times and therefore an unrealistic gradient is introduced that makes the left areas appear darker than they were. --DXR (talk) 10:06, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd probsbly forgive that, but the crop on the right seems highly unfortunate. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 10:08, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well sb criticized it on commons FPC. I can redo it, I don't feel too strongly about either the res or the crop. Just takes me some time. --DXR (talk) 10:12, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do think we need the full width of the panorama to really see Toledo in context. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 13:12, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT is fine. Spectacular picture. The street lights are a bit of a distraction, but it's natural so it's okay. Étienne Dolet (talk) 03:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
