Approaching Nanga Parbat edit

This panorama was taken on the way to the base camp of Nanga Parbat, also known as the "killer mountain". At 8,125 metres (26,658 feet), it is the 9th highest peak of the world and the 2nd highest peak in Pakistan. The base camp is about a kilometer's trek from here. One glacier is visible on the right side, another glacier can be seen building on the left side.

Reason: Stitching errors, particularly on the left side, showing as translucent, "ghost" images of the mountains intruding into the sky. The edited version is here primarily for comparison, as I don't think what I did, which is cloning out the ghosts is the best solution; it really should be restitched from the original individual photographs. Also, the vertical size is below current size requirements, though within them at the time of nomination. However, the edited version is probably better than what we have now.

Delist; ~~tentative replace~~ — Chick Bowen 23:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The edit should really be for replacing in articles only; I wouldn't claim it as FP quality, as I say above. Chick Bowen 15:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist, don't replace. I believe there's other stitching errors and ghosting still remaining that won't all be easy to fix. As you say it really needs a careful restitch from originals. Seems to be one of those cases where an early comment/vote on the foreground hill being a distraction led to basically a referendum on that issue, with the technical issues being overlooked. And while resolution isn't a delist issue, note that a height of 900px was really on the small side even when this was nominated. --jjron (talk) 02:53, 17 February 2013 (UTC) Perhaps I should have said, agree with replacing article usage with the edit. --jjron (talk) 02:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist, don't replace with quick edit This should really be replaced with a properly done fix, as Jjron said one that's been restitched from the originals, but barring that it should be delisted. Cat-five t c ---- 06:34, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
