  •   Support - N 3 14 15 92 65 has been posting some very interesting landscape pictures in Quality Image Candidates. I think this is probably the best I've seen from this photographer so far. It's a composition that presents a variety of colors, textures and forms with a good dramatic sky - perhaps just a bit blown out where clouds are in front of the sun, but I really think that's not bad and the photo is worthy of a feature. I don't know whether some of you might find the rocks in the foreground unattractive, but to me, they're interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:38, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose It's a very beautiful place but the image doesn't fit for an FP to me. The rocks at the bottom cover more than a third of the image and also marginilise the lake, which seems to appear as a minor detail in the whole composition. There are also technical issues: the colours seem pretty washed off; the sky is blown and the part where the clouds are in front of the sun is overexposed, while the cliffs to the immediate right are underexposed because of the lack of lighting, thus making a striking transition; some areas of the image are unsharp. I'd prefer an image with more vivid colours taken from a better angle.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:08, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support - Considering this is a shot against the sun the tones are simply amazing, colors reflect what high(er) alpine scenery can look like (not everything is an oversaturated chocolate ad with purple cows). Maybe the composition could be improved a bit but I'm not sold on the idea. KennyOMG (talk) 01:34, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose I suggest to change the format at least in 16:9 even a bit more in order to crop the too dominant appearing pieces of rock below. --Hockei (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild   Support -- Nice scenery! Should slightly more panoramic though, and per the user above, you should crop the image in order to remove the chunks of gigantic rocks. Target360YT (talk) 14:38, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
