::Meanwhile, can the photo itself also be brightened for detail? [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris (クリス • フィッチ)]] ([[User talk:Kintetsubuffalo|talk]]) 00:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' So if something is stale can we still touch it? I can't make a graphic of it, too out of my league with all the dimensions, but I could lighten and crop the pic.

:If something is stale you are welcome to touch it. Just remove the stale template and proceed as normal; if anything the stale template should be an encouragement to work on it as it means the requester has been waiting a while.--[[User:Dycedarg|<span style="border:1px solid red;color:red; padding:1px;background:#000">'''Dycedarg'''</span>]] [[User talk:Dycedarg|'''<span style="color:#000000">&#x0436;</span>''']] 20:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Request:'''This panorama is stitched from a number of high resolution (5MP) photographs. I am very satisfied with this image though I think the colours could be slightly brighter. I am also wondering whether a different crop would balance the photograph better. I've tried various versions myself but haven't managed to come up with anything remarkably better. -- [[User:Ganeshrg|Ganeshrg]] ([[User talk:Ganeshrg|talk]]) 14:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' Lightened it. Still looking for an interesting crop. What do you think?

'''Comment:''' It looks slightly better. Do you think cropping out the wall at the left will improve the picture? I tried that but realised that the little piece of wall gives the photo a better perspective. Would anyone think this is a Feature Picture Candidate? If yes, could somebody please help me put it up there? Thanks.

::In the edit 1, i cropped out the parking lot on the right. I think It gives it a more uniform look.

:::I have put up the originals now. You can find them on this image's description page under "source". They are all 1280x960 resolution so should be small enough to download while being large enough to preserve detail. I would be grateful with anything that you can come up with. I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ20 and the EXIF info on the source photos has been retained so you can see the settings that I have used for each photo on the image description page under the "Metadata" section. The day was quite cloudy yet bright. I hope this helps. If you need any more info, feel free to ask away. Thanks.--[[User:Ganeshrg|Ganeshrg]] ([[User talk:Ganeshrg|talk]]) 11:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::::I took all that time to download your images one by one only to find that you didn't use a tripod?! There are too many individual pictures for a panorama this size.

:Sorry, I have to drop out of the race. The camera literally tilts angles of the houses from picture to picture. I ran it though an auto one to make sure I wasn't going crazy and it made a circle.

::I wouldn't mind stitching this for you. But only if I had high quality source images. Instead of sizing down the images, can't you just compress them? They should be a meg that way.

:Thanks for trying, Shep. @XcepticZP, is there a way I can EMAIL the large sized originals to you or upload them somewhere else instead of on wikimedia commons?

Please improve contrast and center the picture on the parrot. There is a different species of parrot in the background on the right side of the picture; this may be distracting and would be better edited out of the photo.
