Support Stunning. In most photos the fencing on the left would be distracting, but in this one the eye is drawn to the valley making the fence less obvious. --NJR_ZA (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I disagree with NJR ZA (+ the persons, distracting too, IMO), but I do not oppose, because a crop is possible, and the rest of this picture is just wonderful.--Jebulon (talk) 17:13, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I didn't even notice there are people in the photo until you mentioned it. Tomer T (talk) 00:07, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much artificial for nature shot, and really the definition lacks .--Telemaque MySon (talk) 07:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you mean by "definition"? I can't understand you. Tomer T (talk) 08:50, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Because I think I might have been able to avoid the blurry foreground even if the view wasn't easy to capture this way either. --Ximonic (talk) 20:16, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Njaelkies Lea (talk) 06:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC) Unnatural and strange looking in places. The atmosphere is indeed nice, but I prefer photos like this of nature to remain natural and not too much fiddled with. Same goes for the alternative crop below.[reply]

Oppose overdone HDR. Stunning scene, place - all is stuninng, otherwise. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 16:21, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Info Thanks for the nomination! Here is another crop without the fence, the path or the people. Though, I don't have much anything against these things as they add some extra information value to the scene. Another note: unlike the aspect ratio might look this is kind of a ”panorama” presenting quite a big broad view over the edge. It had to be taken hand held - there was no way I could have been able to mount a tripod on the edge. --Ximonic (talk) 19:37, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes it is good in composition, but for the definition I can not support it.--Telemaque MySon (talk) 07:36, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done Is it better? I would have set a Wikipedia link to the description but it seems there is no article in the English Wikipedia. Which is weird because this is quite a popular visit place for tourists also. (I'm not sure but have the feeling that it was even more in the 90's.) --Ximonic (talk) 12:00, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great atmosphere! —kallerna™ 14:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Njaelkies Lea (talk) 06:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC) As the original crop[reply]

If you want I can upload a version with only one exposure (which of course would be more natural than this). Then again another problem gets big and that means very notable over- and underexposed areas in the picture. I don't really know what else might be the ”unnatural” in this picture when the only processes were exposure stacking, slight WB correction and a little desaturation from the original pictures to prevent some little gamut warnings. Those were the fiddles. If the core problem is caused by high dynamic range capturing then it's a different story and I can understand the opinion better. --Ximonic (talk) 11:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
