Original – Panorama of Sambisari excavated area, a 9th-century Hindu temple located at Sambisari hamlet, Purwomartani village, Kalasan
Reason
High resolution image which allows us to see the whole complex (including all four temples and the wall surrounding them). I think the quality is good enough.
Comment I just feel like I'm going to offend people, so I'll stay out of this one, but the image is soft... like the last one. I'm not sure why. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies07:38, 10 December 2013 (UTC)reply
Good composition, excellent lighting and good EV for providing an overview of the whole site. The main monument is however indeed lacking sharpness. I wonder if it has to do with the humid air. Myself I couldn't get any decent photo in Indonesia, while I am getting good pics with the same camera elsewhere. --

Diliff pointed me towards using a bit of a different f number, which I did with the National Press Monument above. I think it's a bit sharper. But yes, this is the rainy season so the air is a bit more humid. —

I noticed that you're obscuring the EXIF data on a lot of your photos (I assume unintentionally) so I can't tell what f stop you used in this one. I'm starting to think it could be the lens you're using... Is it a kit lens? They're usually a bit better than that but maybe your copy is a bit duff?

This was stitched in
Microsoft ICE, which got rid of the EXIF data. I think this was around f/16 like the ones you took issue with before. The one above was F/8, and it's a bit sharper (I think). Yes, this is the kit lens. Am planning on getting a second lens in the new year, but I was hoping for a longer range one (for podium shots etc.). —
