 * Comment. There seems to be something of a color shift from the bottom to the top of the photograph. This makes it look a bit unrealistic. Any thoughts on this? Kaldari (talk) 20:49, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * See photochrom. Yes, it's artificial: colorization, nineteenth century style.  Durova Charge! 21:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, well since the color isn't real anyway it seems like it would hardly be a sin to correct it further. What do you think? Kaldari (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded an edited version to give an example. I basically just removed the blue tint from the upper buildings and warmed the yellow tint of the lower buildings. I think I lost some of the green on the plants in the process though. Thoughts? Kaldari (talk) 22:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * BTW, I know absolutely nothing about restoring photochroms, so please take my suggestion with a grain of salt ;) Kaldari (talk) 22:55, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Your edit looks fine. The limitation of the medium is that they only had at most 16 colors to work with.  Durova Charge! 17:05, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support Excellent composition of a part of the world featured on here. However I do have some concerns about the color and hue of the image. I know its artificial but I do agree with Kaldari on it making it looks more like a model and than a realistic shot.  Dr. Blofeld       White cat 15:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Not enough full supports in an extended period of time. The caveats proposed by one user do have weight and the fact that this user's !vote was note full does not allow me to promote the image. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 15:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
