Comment I think crop above is a bit tight, i would add some px of sky. Also, when doing PD, did you enlarge vertical ? Seem it need some too. Otherwise good shot, QI. @Carschten, ★. --Mile (talk) 09:23, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The immediate feeling is that the building is leaning to the left, which is not confirmed by checking the verticals. That has probably to do with the non-horizontal ground? Any way, I would not go as far with the PC and would leave the verticals slightly convergent. Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:27, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @ArionStar, PetarM, and Alvesgaspar: Thank you very much for the nomination and your feedback. I’ve extended the crop at the top and also distorted the perspective again. In my view, we have to accept that the building itself und the surrounding have very few truly straight horizontal and vertical lines. I’ve tried a lot, but a completely satisfactory result won’t be possible due to my perspective and the building’s construction. If there is one, I’d be happy to see your suggestions. However, I’m not really sure what "enlarge vertical" means or how I’m supposed to correct the perspective while still keeping the verticals slightly convergent. --kaʁstn 11:59, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Not your fault or the building's fault, I believe. The vertical and horizontal lines are correct to within about 0.2 degrees. I asked ChatGPT and he suggested it might be the result of an assymetrical background and lighting. I rotated the image 0.5 degrees clockwise ... and magic, it looked straight. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:04, 26 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
