  • Weak support. Top left is not optimal, and this could have been taken at a better time of day. But wow, I've never seen a place like this before. -- King of ♠ 07:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Stunning landscape, certainly eye-catching. Brandmeistertalk 17:27, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question I like the colors on this and the EV is good, but I see something that looks like a strange blurry outline directly above the rock formations near the top of the photo. Is that a compression artifact? --Pine 00:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It might just be heat haze or the like. Optics can be weird. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, Support. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:03, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • At full resolution I see a dark horizontal band across the entire sky. Perfectly straight and not natural. Rmhermen (talk) 03:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't really see what you mean... Could you describe it in more detail, or provide an enhanced image that shows it up better? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support Top far left is totally blown out and just to the right of that is a greenish spot that looks like either a compression artifact or some sort of reflection, in either case it's distracting but only really noticeable if you're looking closely at that section of the image.

  • Support while this photo could be better technically I think it's good enough for now. We can do a D&R later if we get something better. The photo's subject is impressive. --Pine 09:49, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Fails size criterion. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On the short side it is only about 1000 high, but on the long side it is about 3800 wide and I view this as an acceptable tradeoff. --Pine 00:12, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Um...what? This doesn't meet the criteria. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • There were other pictures as well which didn't meet the criteria but passed. Tomer T (talk) 08:41, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
