Guanajuato[edit]

The City of Guanajuato

I took this photo of Guanajuato, Guanajuato, a fairly large city in central Mexico. It shows the city's colonial architecture, as well as the University of Guanajuato (the dome shaped building on the left and long white building next to that). --Spangineer 20:11, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the Univeristy is the building with the dome that looks like a capital building, not the building with the smaller dome in front of it. --Spangineer 20:18, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

  • Support. Striking. It looks like the high-res suffers a bit from jpeg compression, but the others are great. Matthewcieplak 00:24, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Nice-ish view, but the quality of the print is less than impressive. ed g2stalk 13:00, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Reluctant oppose. I like this picture a lot, but the off-vertical slant of the two domed buildings on the left is very distracting. —Korath (Talk) 18:16, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • some Relucatance, I can't tell why I don't like the picture. It just doesn't appeal to me. I guess I'll go with Neutral Oppose. BrokenSegue 04:42, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - perhaps it could use a perspective correction as Korath suggests, but the lighting and layout of the town works rather well. -- Solipsist 08:43, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Is such a perspective correction possible in fireworks or photoshop? I've never heard of that, so I hadn't paid any attention to the fact that those lines aren't quite vertical. --Spangineer 16:59, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
Google it. The first hit seems a reasonable tutorial. —Korath (Talk) 18:24, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • Oppose. A nice enough image, but not of featured picture quality. Denni 20:16, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
