Rotorua Museum


A panorama of the Rotorua Museum in Rotorua, NZ, a major tourist attraction in Rotorua. A problem with focus or something made one of the image (the one on the far left) blurry but the affected region is quite minor. Otherwise I think this image is sharp and demonstrates the subject quite well (no people, few blown highlights etc.). The thumbnail doesn't display for most of the times, any help on how to fix that (jpeg encoding problem? or a bug with mediawiki?) would also be appreciated.

 * Oppose. Sorry, the blur on the left is the main problem. Yes it's only a small portion of the pic but it's quite noticeable. (I am having some problems with displaying the image too, but that's hardly your fault.). --jjron 09:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Try re-encoding without progressive jpeg. --TheJosh 04:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've done that but it still doesn't show up on the image description page... Thanks though. -- antilived T 04:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Is there a slight tilt? Perhaps it's not important, I just remember the Dinner Plain example.• Le  on  02:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well it's an illusion: one of the gables on the right is blocked by a tree so it seems tilted to the left when it is not. Also the road is supposed to be tilted downward as it is a ramp. -- antilived T 03:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose. It's a nice picture, but the blurry section (I think the camera moved) ruins it for me. The cars are also a little distracting. -- Tewy  02:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose it's nice... and I don't even mind the blur... it's just that it's not so important or spectacular... maybe if there weren't any cars in front. But, unless the place is very notable it doesn't seem like it would deserve FP status. gren グレン 14:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
