South Cape Bay

Reason: I think it stitched pretty well given the surf. This is taken from pretty much the bottom of Tasmania. It was quite windy. The rock in the distance is called lion rock. I annotated it at commons, but the feature hasn't been turned on at enwiki yet. The beach is part of the last (or first) day of the South Coast track.

Comment At this colour temperature and exposure, I feel like I can't see a barking thing. (I know, I know... the white foam... but still.) Any remedy? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps, do you want it warmer and brighter? Noodle snacks (talk) 22:34, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sounds worth a try. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:51, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

      - Thanks. It turns out the colder colors do work better. Added an edit. Did you take a separate shot of the trees in the background? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 01:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: To me there is a sizeable area of rather ordinary rocky ground in the foreground that spoils the photograph by obscuring the bay, which I presume is the main object of the photograph. However, I feel it was wise to stand some distance from the edge of the cliff top when taking the photograph. Snowman (talk) 14:53, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I figured there is an advantage to having it there - the geology. That is, as soon as I figure out the rock type. I don't usually mind standing close to the edges of cliffs, but this rock was quite like shale and there were warning signs about edges collapsing.

Support. I don't mind that the picture shows the rocks and cliffs that surround the bay. Mostlyharmless (talk) 01:00, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support The quality and the composition are there for me. While I wonder if it would have been possible to take the image from the beach itself, this image adequately displays the landscape. Cowtowner (talk) 23:07, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
