•  Info All by. -- Wilfredor (talk) 21:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry. Nice blue hour shot but the uncorrected perspective distortion is obvious even in thumbnail size. Cmao20 (talk) 21:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, I did this intentionally. If I were to correct the vertical lines, it would result in a completely unrealistic form because the element is very close. This is the best practice to follow in these situations. Thank you for your critique. Wilfredor (talk) 22:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

• I understand that, but the leaning Eiffel Tower in the background just looks too weird for me. Cmao20 (talk) 22:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

  If I "correct" the vertical, there will be a huge bulge at the top of the triumphal arch, I'm going to raise an alt so you can see it yourself Wilfredor (talk) 23:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

• The arch itself is fine to me, but I don't like the things leaning in the background on both sides. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Alt

•  Info @Cmao20: Observe the totally deformed upper part --Wilfredor (talk) 23:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support I know you don’t intend me to support this version, but it is obviously better to my mind. Perspective correction is a trade-off, but this is an improvement and looks much more satisfying. Cmao20 (talk) 23:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

  I find this version horrible but I respect your comment, I'm curious to know what others think Wilfredor (talk) 23:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

• I like this better, but I won't support it if the photographer hates it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  No, you can support, its just my opinion Wilfredor (talk) 01:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support OK. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:48, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment I prefer this version too (with PC). But I don't like the works at the bottom, but you have nothing to do with it. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 07:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support A very interesting comparison – very helpful when one wants to discuss advantages and disadvantages of perspective correction. Call me crazy but I prefer the version with PC. ;–) In the end this tells much about our visual habits. – Aristeas (talk) 08:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support ★ 12:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --Llez (talk) 12:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but too much distortion for FP. Yann (talk) 11:44, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Yann: Please take another look Wilfredor (talk) 18:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

• @Wilfredor: : to compensate for the distortion, the entire image should be stretched vertically; I played around with it, and it looks much better. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks for the recommendation, I managed to solve the perspective problem Wilfredor (talk) 18:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  Right, better. I removed my oppose vote. Yann (talk) 19:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support --The Cosmonaut (talk) 03:16, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --MZaplotnik^(talk) 14:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose For me, the top corner is uncomfortably close to the top edge of the frame. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
