Isla Saona beach edit

Panoramic view of a beach on the Saona island

This scene is just fantastic. Somehow you can't believe that such paradise really exists. The photo shows a beach on the Saona Island in the Dominican Republic. The waving makes it difficult to take good, synchronized photos but it still looks good. Taken by Tamas Iklodi

The scene is quite remarkable. I do feel that the stitching of the panorama is of some what low quality though. The margins between the component photos are apparent, and easily discernable in the angular arc of the top of the beach. Can it be restitched? Conditional support - Debivort
Comment - When I look at the picture, it appears lopsided. That's my only gripe about an otherwise good picture. --vaeiou 22:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose because of the stitching artifacts - that unnaturally wavy beachline kills it for me. If that can be fixed, I'll strongly support. --Janke | Talk 08:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Great picture, bad stitching. Would support cleaned up version. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - take image apart, fix barrel distortion, restich then I can support it.--Deglr6328 18:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with previous oppose. It has potential but needs to be revisited and if possible, restitched with better software/attention to detail. Diliff 21:01, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for stitching/distortion issues detailed above. Will support if image is corrected. --mdd4696 02:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Funny looking beach from stitching. Enochlau 15:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
( − ) Oppose It's such a shame though, because other than the stictching, the photo is gorgeous. --Fir0002 21:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
