Oppose Place and composition are really nice. Sadly, the subject is pretty much completely in the shadow. I realize that it would have to be late evening for some sun to reach this side of the mountain, but as it is, I don't find the light to be appealing. It also considerably reduces the contrast for sky and subject. — Julian H.^✈ 15:18, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for the comment. IMO the fact that the rocks are in shadow, but still with all detail visible gives the image more contrast (Spannung) compared to a view in full sunshine. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:47, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Obviously, full flat sunlight would be bad (and also not possible since this is almost north-facing), but light from the side would definitely create more contrast and make the air more transparent. — Julian H.^✈ 12:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I wonder if there will ever be light from the side since the other part of the narrow valley is flanked by the Stevia Massif and the even higher Col dala Pieres. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 13:03, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose The shadow isn't the problem for me, but I think the decisions that were made to make sure it wasn't resulted in an image that's not as sharp as I'd like. Daniel Case (talk) 03:03, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Scuse me Daniel! Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "not sharp"? The camera was on a tripod, the shutter release was delayed by 5 seconds and the mirror up 2 seconds before, the aperture is f/10 and there was no seismic activitiy in the area at that moment, as far as I know ;-) I appreciate your comments as always. Cheers --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:02, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Daniel Case, the image doesn't have the pixel-peeping sharpness we often see at FP, but many of them are stitched panoramas that have been downsized. That slight softness might be due to the quality of the lens or not applying a standard amount of sharpening in Lightroom/etc appropriate for landscape images. But the image is perfectly capable of being sharpened and looks very sharp if downsized a little while applying some sharpening. So please don't oppose because a 36MP image isn't sharp on your monitor at 100%: some of our FP regulars already only upload small images for FP because of opposes like this, so it is harming the project. Btw, Wolfgang Moroder, your image description page says "Multi-license with GFDL and Creative Commons CC-BY 2.5" but the template is for the CC 3.0 licence and no GFDL template used. -- Colin (talk) 11:59, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry Colin but I don't follow you for the part regardin the licence, I'm too ignorant for that --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 15:31, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question Is this image tilted slightly to the right? Look at the trees in the foreground. --Pine^✉ 18:51, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for the comment, Pine. I don't think it is tilted. I use regularly the internal level of the camera and the picture was taken with a tripod. The vertical lines are convergent below on both sides. I didn't correct the perspective on purpose because it gives a better sense of beeing high up. --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 06:05, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
