Comment For a change to most Namibian landscape FPs, this one is not about dunes.

Comment I've not been there, but the rock looks a bit distorted relative to the landscape. Charles (talk) 10:07, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The rock arch was relatively close (maybe 20 metres off), so there's some distortion due to perspective. --Domob (talk) 16:02, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support It's a lovely landscape and very high-resolution, but I'm a little bit bothered about how the sky seems to change colour, from a deeper blue on the left to a light blue on the right. Cmao20 (talk) 14:03, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's unfortunately true (because the right edge of the image is close to where the sun was). If you think it is useful, I can try to make the sky more even in post processing? (But maybe it just looks artificial then.) --Domob (talk) 16:03, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I understand the difficulty of getting a uniform sky when shooting closer to the sun. Nevertheless, personally I'd give it a go at making it more even. Cmao20 (talk) 16:35, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided an alternate version where the sky is modified to be more even. --Domob (talk) 14:54, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I don't mind the sky. The sun must be anywhere and you have also a gradient in the sky in reality. --Llez (talk) 04:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per explanation - this is how the sky looked, and there's nothing weird or disturbing about it to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Well done. In my opinion it does look considerably better. Cmao20 (talk) 16:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Now the sky is uniformly gray; would be better if the entire sky were brighter. But this image definitely has potential! -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:13, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
