 * Support High EV in this picture showing large scale features of terrain, river, as well as local plant life and architecture. Do you know what is going on at the far left... it looks like the river is dammed and there are some big cranes. Fletcher (talk) 17:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hehe, It is the bridge shown in Image:Bridgewater Causeway Crop.jpg Noodle snacks (talk) 00:17, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Haven't searched for hidden stitch errors or Waldo, though... ;-) --Janke | Talk 17:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Great panorama. Nice, broad view, good EV. Elucidate ( light up ) 18:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Another quality panorama, and proof that you do actually get some sun in Tasmania. Out of interest (and something to add to the image page, perhaps), how many frames did you use for this pano? It is both very high res and fairly sharp, and it almost seems as though the foreground trees are slightly sharper than the background, although that could well be an illusion. One other thing, there is a strange line in the parkland about 3/4 of the way towards the right. Is that a stitching error (looks unlikely tho) or the path of where a mower has driven through?

 * I think I can see the line you are refering to and I don't think its a stiching error. The grass there doesn't get mowed that often (I go birding there quite a bit). The most likely thing is probably a path that has been formed by people/animals walking along it repeatedly. It was 40 portrait orientation images (across about 150 degrees), which is tending towards the overkill side, but i prefer to have overlapping frames just in case one misses focus or something (eg richmond bridge) and stitching errors seem less likely.
 * PS: I'd like to see you re-shoot the panorama from Mt Wellington sometime too.. Was that taken pre-DSLR? The quality isn't nearly as good, and ideally the composition would be focused more on Hobart itself. Would also be interesting to see at dawn/dusk when there is still a bit of light in the sky and a glow of the city lights, but a daylight shot would be fine too. Thanks in advance. ;-) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 22:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I do have to get around to doing that, which should be fairly easy now exams are over. It will be a matter of timing to pick a day with fairly minimal haze. Dawn/Dusk could be cool as well but it'd be a matter of luck to avoid clouds on top of the mountain at that time of day, Not sure how much detail there is to see at that sort of time. It was taken pre-slr with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5. When repeated the whole field of view needs to be rotated left and the focus set more on hobart itself i think.

 * Support I would not be surprised if the Waldo is disguising as a shepherd and yodeling in the beautiful scenery. :) This is a really wonderful panoramic image.--Caspian blue 16:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I see the bridge on the far left side you nominated a couple of weeks back. :-) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Nice detail, I like the view.  Spencer T♦C 01:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
