~~Support~~ Christian Mehlführer's pics remind me a little Lucag's superbe sceneries, with similar mood, and a better quality. I find this picture incredible because of the weather, but also because of that piece of cloud covering right part of the mountain. Hope you do think like me -- Benh (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. An amazing image. --Simba123 (talk) 14:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC) Vote of blocked user struck. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question Is it possible to correct the (too) dark area in the left sky? Autrement, très bonne image, je vais supporter si le ciel est corrigé. --S23678 (talk) 17:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bien noté. I'll try to leave a message to the author. There's a lot of posterization on the sky as well. Benh (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to do something about it this evening. Luckily I have RAW files. Chmehl (talk) 06:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful! It's a pity that the JPG-compression results in a few "abriss" (this is german, is it "noise" in english?) in the sky. --Ukuthenga (talk) 19:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I prefer the edit. Lycaon (talk) 22:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose what a shame to have there photographers shade!--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 21:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support In this edit I cloned out the tripod and saved the jpeg with maximum file size and minimum compression to reduce posterization effects. There is nothing I can do about the dark/uneven sky. This image has a rather large field of view (stitched of 5 images at 10mm taken with a 30D) which causes the uneven color of the sky. Chmehl (talk) 16:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support much better --Simonizer (talk) 10:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This a beautiful scene, but a terrible photo at full resolution. Much better photos have been taken of the NZ Alps. 150.203.230.27 12:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have difficulty to understand your point about full resolution. This image is a downsampled version of the original images used in the panorama. It can hardly be more sharp and detailed. Even more, remember that large images don't need to be perfect at full resolution, since they can be modified (downsampled, cropped, etc) later on with a much higher quality than if it was a perfect-at-full-resolution 2mpx picture --S23678 (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
