Oppose because of overexposed sky and mountaintops. Breathtaking location, though! --Janke | Talk 16:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you try burning the sky? --vaeiou 21:51, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I tried, but it's not flammable enough. :) LordViD 21:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Sharpness, compression artefacts and overexposure are all serious issues and it would've benefitted the image hugely if a UV or polarizing filter were used. That said, the sheer immensity of the image is such that it's just fun to explore it scrolling around. I'd say it illustrates its subject...well..remarkably. --Deglr6328 08:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't believe no one else likes this. I think its really pretty good. --Deglr6328 03:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The chief virtues of this image appear to be that it is of an attractive locale and that it is BIG. Not enough, IMO, to overcome the serious problems of compression artifcats and overexposed mountaintops (I can forgive the overexposed sky in a small region, but losing the snowcaps is unacceptable). --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:49, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Opppose. Interesting scene photographed pretty unspectacularly. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 18:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
