  •   Info There is an obvious stitching error at the ridge in the right of Refuge du Goûter --Milseburg (talk) 16:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Request but   Oppose ... too dark blue at a day time shoot? and the chromatic abberation must be also removed. thanks, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:40, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment For me pretty interesting to explore, like seeing how many people you can spot if you look closely. I am not too happy about the crop at the top. I think it is a bit too tight, and does not leave enough room for the mountain to 'breathe'. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:29, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose Aside from the stitching error noted, there are two large flare blobs on the crest and some colour CA on the snow. Quite a few areas show the joins between sharp frames and blurry ones. To be honest, I wonder if you've made a mistake with the output-size of your stitch as the whole thing looks upscaled 200%. Also, I query the filesize vs the megapixels. If you've saved this with JPG quality 100% then that's just causing everyone to have to download too many bytes. Use the next level down in your software (e.g. 11/12, 90/100, etc) and the filesize drops dramatically yet the quality is imperceptibly different. The sky is a bit posterized and the snow blown. Lastly, there's no colourspace EXIF nor embedded colour profile, so the colours aren't properly defined. Did you use a polarizing filter? If so, that might explain the huge difference in brightness in the sky. It's a dramatic view, but the technical quality isn't at FP. -- Colin (talk) 20:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose - I agree with Slaunger about the top crop. This picture is also pretty noisy. I thought of being neutral, but I don't really think this picture is one of the most outstanding on the site, although a picture of this motif could be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:45, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose I promoted this to QI after a change I requested was made, but I do not think it reaches FP level. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose Per others. INeverCry (talk) 17:36, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Info Just to answer some of the questions posted here: Yeah, I used a polarizer. Otherwise the sky would have been too bright and many more snowfields blown. Don't forget that at 2,700 m the sky is already quite dark if weather is good. The lack of space over the summit is caused by the fact that there wasn't much space left actually. I would have made this pic from a bigger distance, but there was a ridge right behind me. I can't find the colorspace anywhere in the Exif data myself, not even in the RAW file. The "noise" you observed could be no real noise, but small rocks, particularly in the lower part of the pic. And: No, this pano not upscaled. --Jacek79 (talk) 19:37, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Request Where do you see the stiching error exactly? I've looked into the area you told me, but can't find anything wrong. --Jacek79 (talk) 19:52, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is seen in the transition between snow and blue sky at the annotation on the nomination page as a 'step' with smeared edges. Clearly a stiching error. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I can see an obvious stitching error on the left lower side of the Goûter hut. It's very hard to find unless you look for such blunders explicitly, but apparently, Hugin dislikes pics of mountains. I hereby give up. Sorry! --Jacek79 (talk) 18:47, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
