Manila skyline at sunset edit

Original - The skyline of the City of Manila at sunset, as seen from Harbour Square.

Reason: Good quality, high resolution, encyclopedic image of the skyline of the City of Manila. The composition and lighting is quite nice, and I don't think I've seen a better image of the Manila skyline anywhere, commercial or otherwise.Note that a slightly cropped version exists at Image:Big_Manila.jpg and is used on more pages.

Oppose Unfortunately I have to oppose this otherwise high quality image. It looks like the left most images used in the panoramic stitching where of lower contrast than those on the right. The boats in the foreground are where this is clearest. This could probably be easily fixed by either adjusting the contrasts of each image or using a different stitching program. --Leivick (talk) 03:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You have a keen eye. I have adjusted the contrast at the left and reuploaded over the old image. TheCoffee (talk) 05:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Stitching is not so good, generally noisy image and not so sharp, too small file size for such a large image. —Krm500 ^{(Communicate!)} 05:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I could... increase the file size... TheCoffee (talk) 02:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It isn't really a strong requirement for the criteria at this stage, I have approximately geocoded the image. Do you think you'd be able to pinpoint the exact location and edit the tag appropriately? I also wonder why this wasn't uploaded to commons. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The photo was taken here... not much familar with geocoding, I'll figure out how to tag it later. I just felt like uploading it first to en-wiki cuz I'm an admin here and have flexibility to delete it if necessary. The other version is at Commons, I could put this on Commons too if you insist. :p TheCoffee (talk) 02:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Commons would be a good idea, they have prettier geolocation templates for images for a start, and it lets the images be used on the other projects. I'll update the tag when its moved. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:21, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
