•  Info Hell Gate Bridge. On the left is Randall's Island. On the right is Queens, New York City. East River underneath. Created/uploaded/nominated by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  05:02, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment Hmmm. Not that it matters for this nomination, but my image notes/annotations aren't showing up since uploading a new version. Anyone know why? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  05:02, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed now -- your image changed from 9409 to 9410 wide, and the notes include the dimensions. I assume this is so that if someone changes the image size and the notes would be wrongly placed, they are just not used rather than being displayed wrongly. -- Colin (talk) 07:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah. I guess doing the perspective correction added a pixel without me realizing. Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:04, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support A little bit ordinary, maybe, but the resolution, quality and helpful annotations make up for it. Cmao20 (talk) 18:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support Convincing crop of an imposing bowstring bridge which includes the long railway approaches on both sides. A panorama probably composed of 3 images in landscape mode. On close scrutination only one stitching error visible: the top railing repeats just above the top beam between the 6th and 7th vertical beams from the right. Personal remark: Of the many panoramas I have processed with various versions of Adobe Photoshop, only a few result in multiple stitching errors,. The majority, even if composed of 20 images or more, sports exactly one stitching error, often at apparently easy-to-detect linear features as in this case. Seems like Adobe abhors producing a perfect image and secretly inserts one single error on purpose! Easily fixed by carefully applying the clone stamp, but not mandatory for featured picture status. Full support for an impressive view! --Franz van Duns (talk) 13:52, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Franz van Duns: New version uploaded. I think I fixed the little stitching issue on the railing. FWIW, I have not had the same experience of only one stitching error. e.g. this one recently at FPC which required shifting a chunk of floor. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  03:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Rhododendrites: Yes indeed, that stitching issue has now been meticulously removed. Note off topic: By the way, It is fascinating how the now immaculate flooring dominates that featured "Oculus (41323p).jpg" vista you supplied. And ..., I do think I'll upload a panorama or two of my own making some time soon and give them a first try on the Quality Images page. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 08:41, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

•  Qualified support A nicely detailed photo of the most visible part of the longest bridge in New York State (at 5.2 km). Wish we didn't have those clouds in the back; I don't know what you have done or not done to them but I'll accept them as a necessary tradeoff for the quality of the rest of the image.

  I also suppose it would have been really cool to get this picture while the Acela was crossing the bridge, but I don't know whether you had the time. Maybe another day ... Daniel Case (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
