Weak support. Top left is not optimal, and this could have been taken at a better time of day. But wow, I've never seen a place like this before. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Stunning landscape, certainly eye-catching. Brandmeister^talk 17:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Question I like the colors on this and the EV is good, but I see something that looks like a strange blurry outline directly above the rock formations near the top of the photo. Is that a compression artifact? --Pine^✉ 00:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It might just be heat haze or the like. Optics can be weird. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At full resolution I see a dark horizontal band across the entire sky. Perfectly straight and not natural. Rmhermen (talk) 03:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't really see what you mean... Could you describe it in more detail, or provide an enhanced image that shows it up better? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Top far left is totally blown out and just to the right of that is a greenish spot that looks like either a compression artifact or some sort of reflection, in either case it's distracting but only really noticeable if you're looking closely at that section of the image.

Support while this photo could be better technically I think it's good enough for now. We can do a D&R later if we get something better. The photo's subject is impressive. --Pine^✉ 09:49, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fails size criterion. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On the short side it is only about 1000 high, but on the long side it is about 3800 wide and I view this as an acceptable tradeoff. --Pine^✉ 00:12, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Um...what? This doesn't meet the criteria. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There were other pictures as well which didn't meet the criteria but passed. Tomer T (talk) 08:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
