Support. A tiny bit grainy, but otherwise a very beautiful picture. Nauticashades 18:33, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Poor lighting, too much focus on foreground trees, and I'd like to see a larger picture for something that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. HeartOfGold 18:57, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Cluttered, no clear subject, mass of trees in the foreground, quality standards. --Bridgecross 19:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Bridgecross. -- Moondigger 19:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Bridgecross --Ineffable3000 20:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Copyright staus. [1] clearly says "© All rights reserved" Other photos will need to be checked. Rmhermen 23:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Ah, but his userpage [2] clearly says "© This photo is public".~~ Nauticashades 15:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- On Flickr, "public" means anyone can see it, as opposed to "private" photos which are limited to people the user specifically designates. howch e ng {chat} 16:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many of his other pictures have Creative Commons liscenses. I doubt that he would selectively pick some to share, and some not to share (however, I could be wrong). Nauticashades 15:14, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case I would contact him. Many photographers, when asked, are willing to release their pictures an a license wikipedia can use. Garion96 (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Howcheng, why don't you email him? That way, we could sort this issue out once and for all. Nauticashades 16:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, email sent. howch e ng {chat} 21:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Let's keep our fingers crossed, then. Nauticashades 12:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This picture doesn't focus on any main thing and it is a very ordinary picture. --Midnight Rider 03:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Ineligible~~ -- licensing. howch e ng {chat} 00:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- After email communication, photographer has changed licensing to cc-by-sa. howch e ng {chat} 23:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you Victor! i told you guys, victor is way too nice. Arad 12:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good, now we can actually discuss the image itself, as opposed to copyright issues. Just wondering, Howcheng, did he let Wikipedia use his other pictures? Nauticashades 10:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Providing the licensing works out, the picture is a good one and presents the subject well. --WikiSlasher 14:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Bridgecross HighInBC 14:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support The trees in the foreground help in understanding the image better. The colors seem a little dull on the right, however, but it is still a better image than many FPs. AndonicO 16:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not really grabbing my attention; a bit average (and not very big) for a potentially stunning subject which isn't going anywhere in a hurry. --Yummifruitbat 00:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per above. Nothing striking and on the small side in size. --Tewy 03:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose most books I've read on composition say that landscapes should not show equal parts sky and ground, the image should either have its main subject be one or the other --rogerd 23:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks to me at least 60% ground --WikiSlasher 07:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very very weak oppose Basically neutral, but if I'm the tipping point I'd say oppose. Nice photo, somewhat dull subject matter, and just not striking enough to overcome that. Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Now that the licencing it done and the picture has a home, I have no problem with this image. Don bertone 13:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Per Bridgecross doniv 18:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
