This panoramic image of
Arlington National Cemetery portrays just some of the 300,000 grave stones in array at the cemetery.Alternate — Color has been shifted to more accurately reflect the true colors the image should be.
Reason
This image wonderfully portrays the infinite expanse of one of America's most important national sites.
weak oppose - the geometry is very arresting, but the color ballance is way red-shifted and the sky is pretty badly blown in the middle.

Weak oppose - It has a wonderful composition, but the sky is overexposed, the color balance is off, and the foreground it blurred.

Comment. Your points are well taken; the sky would look nicer if it were properly exposed. As for the blurry front though, that was one of the main reasons I liked this image. I think it gives an interesting perspective of the picture, not being focused on any one thing specifically. I don't know. I just liked how that was. └Jared┘┌t┐19:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)reply
Weak Oppose – I would have preferred a more symmetrical shot of the headstones. Other than that the same problems as per Debivort: overexposed sky, too much red, blurry foreground headstones.

Comment (not an oppose, just a comment). The sky is kind of flat; a bluer sky might help the composition. The time of year, with few leaves on the trees, is perfect, however. I notice that the composition is focused so that the foreground stones are generally out of focus--the focus seems to be on the ones a few tiers back. I am no photography expert-- what does everyone think about the particular choice of focus here?

Since a tripod was undoubtedly used I'm confused why you (Noclip) didnt stop down much farther for DOF purposes. Theres no meta data so what stop did you use 8? 5.6?. I too would like to see a better focus across the subjects. -

Oppose. Was this done by rotating the camera in a fixed position? It kind of looks like a cylindrical projection. I think this image would be better served if all the headstones were in lines (and I'm assuming here that they are in neat rows, but it's been 23 years since I've been to Arlington). howcheng {

Oppose. There is a very visible stitching error in the bottom left hand corner running up and toward the young tree and then up the left hand edge of it's trunk on .--
