This building's floors might be a good example where the eye expects to see straight floors, or a different perspective anyway.

•  Comment IMO bit tilted. And I dislike the crop on right, with that street light. —kallerna™ 09:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

 Info Align the sides of the buildings with the side of your browser at full zoom; I can't see any tilt there. The water is apparently higher on the left because of the distance, but this is only an optical illusion. I do agree on the right side crop, I didn't saw that in the final composition (a big ship was located to the immediate right of the actual crop, all I did was to cut that ship). --S23678 (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• I don't think it's the vertical as much as the horizontals. There is a weird distortion going on. Not sure if it's a result of the stitching or what. --Dori - Talk 23:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Could you point out exactly where that is? --S23678 (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

It's pretty much every building. My eye expects horizontal lines for the floors. Instead it appears to be clockwise leaning, due to perspective maybe. If the building has a corner, the left side should be angling up going right whereas the right side should be more horizontal? I don't really know how to explain it, just giving my "eye feel" --Dori - Talk 05:25, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, you're talking about perspective. Well, this is real life stuff, and it has nothing to do with the camera or post-processing. A "real" distortion would have been the absence of perspective for such a scene.--S23678 (talk) 13:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

•  Support It looks a tad tilted to me as well, but I may be wrong. Buildings are also a bit too dark to my taste. But the whole picture looks for sure amazing, with a superb sky and looks technically flawless. - Benh (talk) 19:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

•  Support and  Comment I was pleased to see this nomination and all your supports, thank you all. I didn't nominated this image at first because of some of the flaws I saw from post production and some artistic liberties I took. Mainly, due to fast changing light conditions, luminosity levels in the sky are different from frame to frame, and this is visible by moving the image left to right. I tired to fix the problem, but my post-processing skills are still quite limited. As well, I played with the levels, curves and WB to get this 2 tone sky to pop-up (no "Photoshop cheating", just colour enhancement), which may be considered by some to be an unacceptable distortion of reality. But, from your supports, I guess I was a bit hard on myself...! --S23678 (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
