• Oppose - oversharpened around trees and HDR appears overdone (water looks too blue!) MER-C 07:09, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Takes opportunity to point out it isn't HDR, or even a exposure blend (just a grad at the top). Noodle snacks (talk) 07:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I stand corrected, but it's still oversharpened. MER-C 07:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose HDR or not it seems to have been overcooked in post processing - too high contrast (some can be attributed to sharpening as MER-C points out). And the graduated ND just doesn't work that well for me; it doesn't look natural --Fir0002 12:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
