  • Oppose all due to dull colors. The color edit looks better, but the colors look as though they were brought out from an understaturated picture. I think rephotographing the subject is the only solution in this case. HighInBC 22:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • To me it looks more like an old Ektachrome slide in terms of color balance -- like something taken 30 years ago and only recently scanned. (Not saying that's what it is -- only that it looks like it.) -- Moondigger 13:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, too hazy. SteveHopson 22:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I made a couple edits. I wasn't happy with the sky in the color version, so I tried converting to black & white. The sky still doesn't look right to me. However I think both images are improvements on the original. -- Moondigger 04:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Edit 1 is still better but colors kind of make it look clustered. 24.254.92.184 12:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Good shot, but the colors are beyond fixing IMO. --Tewy 19:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the colors, of rock & sky separately. Is edit 3 better? --Janke | Talk 05:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Since I've just been there last weekend and yet have pictures to upload which I think are better than this one. --Dschwen 22:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all. Like HighInBC says, I don't think this pic is salvageable. howcheng {chat} 18:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all. Not salvageable. I think I've made better ones during my visit there last year. Mikeo 01:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
