  • Support Umberto Eco interviewed by Wikinews very high EV for Wikimedia, and the best image in the article. But please slightly rotate it CW to be vertical. --Elekhh (talk) 06:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I dont know how to rotate it but i still think its good. Spongie555 (talk) 22:46, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I did a slight 0.8°CW rotation (you might need to purge cash with CTRL+F5 to see it), but is impossible to completely straighten, due to barrel distortion, and loss of detail on the edges (both window on the right and hand at the bottom are important to retain). But I agree with you that the dynamism of the image does not reduce its value. --Elekhh (talk) 23:20, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
