Being from Miami and knowing it well, I like that one the most also. However, keep in mind that the wikipedia page will be viewed by people who have probably never seen Miami - and it's about Skyline rank, which looks wide in that photo, but the buildings look small since it's so far away. I think Q's comment about "losing scale" would really apply to this photo. Maybe there's a way to enlarge the skyline portion? Photoshop?

You just had to throw that in there didn't ya To be clear, I never tried to give the impression it was my photo which is why I used words like "photo I selected" and "photo I picked".

I know you know all those photos are mine. My comment was to Urban Beauty who might not know they are all mine since he hasn't been around that long on SSC and since he said any one of them would do.

Dave, please post per stickied instructions when using Flickr.

Hello, first time posting here, long time lurking. Joined today, couldn't help but respond to the wikipedia "User/Raime" problem with Miami's pic. Anyone can edit the pic, just needs to know a bit about Wiki's HTML codes, there has to be a remote file uploaded to Wikipedia first, I know that, then a URL code to it here or Flickr or whoever wants to give rights to them.... hope this helps. By the way, Mr Quantum X, you have some astonishing photos of the Magic City, keep up the great work.

Also, I couldn't help but notice someone else used a screen name similar to mine here before, i originally tried to sign up here some years back but couldn't because the name was already taken....

Monsier Mallard/Mr. Duck really meant that much to you that it took you years to register again, and then, rather then using a completely different screen name this time, you decided to misspelled "mallard?" "Quantum" was taken when I originally signed up for this website. It didn't take me years to add the "X."

What a remarkable coincidence! What are the odds?

My apologies, I should have elaborated more on this: My name is a character from Edgar Allan Poe's "The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Feather", I had to remove the "u" from Monsieur, "Maillard" is correctly spelled, it's not in reference to a duck, but rather a French character in the story about a Maison de Sante.

My French is a bit rusty, but all in all I'm quite pleased with the title over the years on my youtube channel and my website.

Anyway, concerning the Wiki page, if you click on the little #3 next to the right column under "Miami" on the User/Raime page it will take you to one of your skyline pics, Quantum.

2 to 1? 3 to 1?

Not that it matters much, of course.

Monseurmallard joined this website August 26, 2011. There has been no other similar screen. You are not telling the truth. His last activity was September 5, 2011 for which I banned him for posting Flintstone pornography, which he has done several times under different screen names. Now, I don't know what happened to this poor guy that he craves this kind of attention and likes to play these little games, but it is truly sad that this person so does not have a life.

I think this one would be good if we could get better resolution and fix the angle.

or this maybe? This is another one Dave8721 found on Flickr and here, I copied the original size and then cropped it to make the skyline look bigger.

Dave, were you able to download the original size of this? If so, could you please PM it to be. I want to see what kind of resolution I can get with the image cropped like this.

I tried to make downtown and little bigger here, but I can't do it without the original.
