Panoramic photo of the Seven Rila Lakes in the Rila mountains of Bulgaria
Reason
Numerous obvious cloning artifacts, as shown in this picture. Image quality is also not great, and I don't like the fact that most of the picture is in the shade.

  • Yeah, this one definitely needs to be rethought, as evidenced by the original nomination, which is a bit confused with edits coming in during it, and has some significant questions raised after the close. The clone job above and to the left of the middle lake is particularly annoying to me, and I'd say delist. Chick Bowen 19:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are many cloning artifacts in the image (which are detailed in the image on the German Wikipedia which I linked to), which in my view make this unworthy of FP status because the image is not of a high technical standard. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 11:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, there are a couple of different issues. There are places, like the one I mentioned above, where the tire-tread-like marks from the cloning tool are visible. There are also places, such as in the clouds and at the bottom right, in which a portion of the image actually appears twice. Chick Bowen 14:54, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist I'd even be in favor of expediting this delist since the edits to this image make it absolutely inappropriate to be an FP. Cat-five - talk 20:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
