Oppose severe image noise and poor details. The image has been extremely sharpened to give the impression of being sharp despite the lack of details, resulting in halos around edges of high contrast. dllu (t,c) 18:32, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per dllu... So many halos, and not a single angel in sight... gazhiley 13:01, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per dllu. That said, the image does have decent EV. I'm curious, how difficult would it be to have this retaken? --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 18:48, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, a bit difficult. We're planning to go there on December 2014. It takes 6 days to get there :| — ΛΧΣ²¹ 19:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - In which case, I think this image may pass on the grounds of good EV, seeing how difficult it is to take a better one. I change my vote to Weak Support. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 23:12, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above, but in my view the original version is better; the posterization in this one derives from the excessive contrast reduction designed to lessen the effect of the overexposed sky. It would be better to live with the sky and leave the mountain as-is. Chick Bowen 22:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I will remain Neutral. Arctic Kangaroo 11:30, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support it is beautiful. Also, it has good EV. The original version of this file is better as per Chick Bowen. Mediran (t • c) 07:30, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
