Oppose Honestly, it's not a very high quality image. It's not very high resolution and has relatively poor detail close up. It's full of jpg artifacts and sharpening halos (or as I've recently been told is the sign of a high quality camera... either way take your pick). On top of that, there's the coloring. Things simply look too golden and the sky is a weird blue color. Ruins whatever encyclopedic value the image had. I would even go so far as to say it shouldn't even be in the article, especially not the lead photo, for the coloring reason alone. This would have been a really nice image at higher resolution, with natural colors and before it got saved as a (relatively) highly compressed jpg. JBarta (talk) 04:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose All reasons stated above. JFitch (talk) 13:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Jbarta. I'd want a landscape shot like this to be several times the size of this image. J Milburn (talk) 14:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Oversaturated, oversharpened and too small. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
