Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Sunrise Mt Uluguru
A good quality, aesthetic image of the mountains. I wanted feedback on its EV.

- I'm assuming you know half of it is blown (i think, i haven't checked). I'd be worried about the EV since most of the main subject is obscured by mist. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes I am aware of the the blown parts, but I was trying to capture the amazing view, and it was pretty much blown :) Muhammad(talk) 14:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Personally I'd say that your image in that article that failed a previous nom has higher EV. I find the blown areas here a bit disconcerting; it actually makes it a bit uncomfortable to look at. Blown, overexposed or inconsistently lit sky used to mean an almost certain fail at FPC, but some have recently got through (I think it may actually have been one of Noodle's noms a week or two ago that got good support and where the inconsistent sky with a very bright section at the left didn't even rate a mention from voters, so maybe things are changing...). --jjron (talk) 13:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'd be curious as to which one you were refering too, it was probably bright, but I doubt it was blown (I am usually pretty careful about blown highlights). Noodle snacks (talk) 19:39, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- No, I don't think it was blown, just quite bright to the left of image. This is the one: Image:Austins Ferry and Derwent River from Poimenna Reserve.jpg. Things with skies like that used to always get opposed with comments such as 'taken at the wrong time of day', so it was interesting that it wasn't mentioned. I think there may have been others too (not yours) where the sky doesn't seem to attract the attention that it used to, so as I said things may be changing. --jjron (talk) 10:24, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I did nominate one panorama which got the "wrong time of day" comment a few times. The thing is that dawn/dusk often look better, but they also usually don't help the enc either (So long as you can manage the daylight dynamic range). Noodle snacks (talk) 09:48, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks jjron and Noodle for the comments. I think I will give it a go, it can't hurt to try :) Muhammad(talk) 15:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
