This is something else, alright. I just don't see the EV though. It's in a gallery on the article on the island, and though it's the lead image in the article on the forests, the focus isn't actually on the forests. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — Gorgeous, fresh yet ethereal. Love it. But Crisco has a point re EV ... ?? Sca (talk) 14:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - can be fixed. Hafspajen (talk) 19:30, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the gallery at Lofoten, but very small. Perhaps User:EuroCarGT would like to move it up & resize? Sca (talk) 21:19, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support a very atmospheric image. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:48, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree with Crisco about EV, and in addition to that, I sometimes find that exceptional atmospheric conditions like the sunset/sunrise through the mist end up misleading the viewer a little, or at the least distract. Although it's more difficult to give the image 'wow', regular conditions are more representative of what the region is actually like. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:10, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is a pretty good image of Lofoten, when it rains, because - well, the conditions are different there. The sun never goes down in summer. It is pretty weird. It stays light all the time, it is never dark. I remember two o'clock in the night it was as light as in midday in June. It was never dark, one had to look at the watch to realize that it is midnight, because it is just slighly dawn-ish, nothing more. Later in the autumn, it is the reverse, than it is dark instead, it never gets light, it is this kind of darkish light most part of the day, it will never be real sunshine, just this darkish weird light. And both dawn and sunset is going on for a long time, sort of half darkish weird light, for hours. You can check here Civil twilight, at Duration. (Lofoten is above Trondheim). So I would say it is quite regular and representative conditions for Lofoten. Hafspajen (talk) 10:55, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
