  • Support while I don't find this image to be especially interesting, it does its job. Pine(talk) 03:54, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Good landscape photo. -- King of 00:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks good. EV is really only valuable in Loch Torridon, as Wester Ross doesn't really say anything about the loch. Dusty777 18:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regretful Oppose The surrounding Torridon Hills - seen here in the background - are of considerable geographical significance and reputation. Considered to be one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Scotland (see the article) they are more of a destination than the Loch itself. This photo does a reasonable technical job of framing a large area of both Loch and hills but the postcard-style sunshiney over-saturation just does not convey the characteristics nor atmosphere of this stunning and unique landscape.

  • Support Beautiful countryside (admit bias here) captured well and in great detail. The clouds moving over the sky, casting shadows on the hills, is very much a feature of the countryside. Wrt oversaturation, I've no idea what processing the creator has done but I've taken photos just as saturated without any processing: sometimes Scotland's sky, lochs and hills really do come alive with colour. More commonly, not. Sadly. Colin°Talk 18:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
