•  Oppose Nice scenery but the leftmost third is entirely unsharp. Snow fields blown, green on fellside lacks detail. The house is crisp sharp but that does not make the shot outstanding in my eyes, that would require crisp sharp mountains too. Rather focus on the background, the house is still within DoF at f/8 or f/11. Is this 12 mpix frame cropped or downscaled? I’d prefer a landscape framing as well, in case of crop perhaps thats possible. --Kreuzschnabel 06:59, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  •  Comment A couple of good questions: 1) I chose to take this shot in portrait orientation. This may have been a mistake but I hoped to avoid perspective correction in post processing. Holding my camera perpendicular and still catching a good portion of the sky at the same time was impossible with landscape framing. 2) Why isn't everything crisp? Honestly, I don't know. At f/8, 20mm pretty much everything should be sharp in theory, no matter where the focus actually is (I did focus on the house here). Maybe it was the polarizer? I can't offer any explanation. Still, background sharpness isn't an overly crucial factor here, imo. I still like the picture the way it is. 3). So yes, the picture is a crop, based on a raw file taken in portrait mode. I never ever downscale my pics. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

•  Very weak party-poop oppose Crop is an improvement and I so want to like this image. But I have two issues I can't make myself get past: First, the unsharpness on the ridgeline. I believe Martin when he says that he can't explain that. And yes, it's not the important part of the image. But we've had similar FPs where there was less unsharpness on distant features, and I don't think "I can't explain this" is an adequate enough answer for me to forgive that.

  Second, the WB is a little too cool. I know it's an image with predominantly cool colors, but surely that adjustment could have been made so it doesn't feel so much like it was lit by a giant fluorescent lamp. Daniel Case (talk) 04:21, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
