150: 132: 118: 51: 164: 537:, I feel we should have two FPs: one that's more aesthetically pleasing (preferably when the sky is changing, namely at sunrise or sunset), and one that's at a higher resolution with more detail (when the sky is contant, like midday or night). -- 441:
FYI, you guys at FP probably see this skyline shot a couple of times a year as new buildings are built. I think you can see differences in the skylines below architecturally.--
288:(zoom out 3 levels) than a bend, actually. I am not a student of lines of perspective and do not know what the correct technical appearance of a slanted line should be.-- 707: 86: 697: 17: 62: 270:
Doesn't immediately strike me as being tilted - the shoreline appears to bend away from the camera, which could perhaps make it look tilted? --

per nom, without prejudice to any of the existing FPs of this same subject. I particularly like the water reflection in this image.

Actually, upon further inspection, I should detail what you are looking at. The majority of the image is the western "streetwall" of

Should I nominate the other commons FP now. I was going to wait until one of my current noms finishes since I have two others.--
607: 396: 337: 385:
the colours make it more interesting visually than the others below. Great use of natural and artificial light.
344:. The issue is a non-linear skyline. See the map linked to the word slant above along with this explanation.-- 546: 672: 222: 586: 513: 479: 447: 411: 350: 329: 294: 244: 186: 652: 321: 491: 459: 423: 362: 306: 256: 198: 605: 541: 538: 668: 570: 390: 218: 332:. Then the skyline veers because you are mostly looking at the northern "streetwall" which is 582: 509: 474: 442: 406: 345: 289: 239: 181: 495: 463: 427: 366: 310: 260: 202: 648: 623: 341: 149: 333: 275: 90: 138: 599: 565:
very good nom, on the topic above of the slant, I think it's just an optical illusion.
131: 82: 405:
You respond as if only one of these should be featured at a time. Is that the case?--
691: 566: 386: 665:. No consensus to replace other FP, so it's just going to be promoted alongside it. 636: 534: 105: 619: 117: 50: 271: 78: 58: 72:
This is a featured picture at commons and has high encyclopedic value.
215:. I have a feeling this is slightly tilted. Is it just an illusion? 163: 49: 340:. Then, you see a north south portion of the skyline along 35:
