Reason
A great panorama that shows all the important elements of this city including: The Taurus mountains, the peninsula the city is on, the citadel in the foreground (important as Alanya has been a military stronghold), the busy tourist district and beaches. Awesome encyclopedic work and a great visual look.
Proposed caption
Alanya is a seaside resort in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Because of its natural strategic position on a small peninsula into the Mediterranean Sea below the Taurus Mountains, Alanya has been a local stronghold for many Mediterranean based cultures, including the Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. The relatively moderate Mediterranean climate, natural attractions, and historic heritage makes Alanya a popular destination for tourists.

I would like to, only this panorama was taken so long ago, I've lost the original left and right most images, and only have the middle. I've been working from a Photoshop file, which I can send along if you think it will help get a better image. Regardless, I am happy with my image and proud to have it nominated; I understand the featured system on Wikipedia is simply a reward for technique.--Patrick Ѻ 23:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. FWIW, I love this. If you ever go back do be sure to shoot it again, maybe using the camera in portrait format to overcome the distortion which seems to be screwing up the stitch, and also to give a bit more foreground detail, which is noticably lacking. --mikaultalk 18:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
