Support That is a stunningly well-composed picture. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support. Not sure that I would call it stunningly well-composed, but it does show the three distinct segments of the valley quite well. Sharpness is quite poor though, and needs to be downsampled significantly (close to the minimum required res) to be properly sharp. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose not sharp enough, and has strange red and blue effects on either sides of some of the tree trunks that should be a grey or white color. --Pine^✉ 07:15, 26 December 2012 (UTC) I see the extended voting deadline has passed, although this only has 4.5 support votes so it will not pass anyway. --Pine^✉ 07:16, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Um, no, it's still up for voting. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 09:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The top of this nomination page includes the statement "Voting period ends on 26 Dec 2012 at 00:14:13 (UTC)". Are you saying that five days are added to 26 December? --Pine^✉ 21:54, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - That is correct. Changing the 26 December date would require far, far more template changes, to the point of likely causing major problems when we try to stop the extension. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 22:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I'm not seeing the red and blue artifacts: I did fix some CA problems with the trees in the upper right that had purple fringes before this was nominated (apparently nobody caught that in the FP review on Commons). I've been trying different sharpening strategies, but have not yet arrived at sharpening that's not detrimental in some other way. Acroterion (talk) 19:41, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please look at the tree trunks especially on the lower right. --Pine^✉ 21:54, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I took a look at the image with a program that does a better job of getting super close up on an image and what you are seeing on the bottom right hand side is moss with a blue tinge. Blue moss is sometimes found on trees with health problems, but normally just a difference in how the moss looks. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 12:50, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
