Loch Lomond waterline edit

Original - View across Loch Lomond at the waterline looking North at Ben Lomond

Reason: Just a beautiful picture across the the Loch, and clearly showing the Ben it takes its name from on the far side. Also perfect as a wallpaper (which I use it as!)

Comment Is it just my screen, or does this have some artifacting in the water and the near shore. Clegs (talk) 14:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't any so far as I can tell (from checking on flatscreen and CRT). --AlisonW (talk) 14:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

oppose thanks for the nomination, but this photo is too small and lacks the detail to rise to the level of one of the best landscape shots on wikipedia. de Bivort 15:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh? Sorry, hadn't realised people were size-ist! I have now replaced the earlier (1,280×800) version by the full version (2,272×1,356). Hope that helps ;-) --AlisonW (talk) 17:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Um, sizeists in the forum that selects the very best images in the project? Imagine that. I'm sorry but the new version doesn't add much detail, and is grainy. To be among the best, this shot would likely need to be taken as a panorama and stitched. de Bivort 20:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Good composition. Flat lighting and haze make me less than enthusiastic. Durova^Charge! 18:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; now, surely you can get a better-quality picture than this. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 08:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: color casts, horizon is not level. Achromatic (talk) 00:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the several issues raised by Achromatic and Debivort. Clegs (talk) 17:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
