Support, tentatively, for its historical EV. There's bad curvature of field, but it's a century old panorama. How much are we expecting (or, can it be fixed?).

If you want rectangular projection, there's a limit on how wide your panorama can be. Wide panoramas always require some curving in order to be projected into a 2D plane.

Since some found the original too distorted, I've created this version with less curvature. Of course there are compensatory distortions at the edges, and the foreshore had to go, but I don't think the distortion is too bad in this case. —

Neutral but if anything I would prefer the original. The alt appears much better, but when zooming on the bottom right or left corners, an awful distortion becomes obvious.

Actually, if you could tilt the image ~2 degrees and crop it just above the rail tracks, the distortion might be way less obvious.

Cropping above the rail tracks would not be beneficial to the project in terms of encyclopedic content. The trains going through the park is a part of the content that makes this image historical.--
