  •  Question Ever been in the Lake District on a bright autumn day? --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 09:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  • No I haven't. --Rutake (talk) 09:32, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
    • The EXIF data says "Saturation=High" so it has been boosted a bit, probably in-camera. However, I will confirm the colours can be vivid on a bright autumn day and some adjustment of saturation is quite normal. I guess the turquoise sky next to the orange slopes is a bit clashing in terms of colour harmony. -- Colin (talk) 12:51, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose It is a beautiful landscape but the composition isn't working for me. The cloud keeps taking my attention off the land. The smoke is a fire rather than a steam train, which is a shame. The path isn't successfully leading the eye. I'd like to see a bit more of the lake and less of the path. The 4:3 ratio doesn't help I think. -- Colin (talk) 12:49, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Oversaturation, smoke from a wrong source, bad crop (with the cumulonimbus cut off). (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:59, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment I didn’t know there was such a thing like right and wrong smoke sources. Since there is no railway line even near this place, a steam train would be much wronger a source IMO. Is there a list of the goodness of smoke sources I can refer to before taking my next photo of a wrong one? --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 16:10, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
    • Please refer to Colin's comment. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 09:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
      • Which one? "The smoke is a fire rather than a steam train, which is a shame"? I can see no point in putting a steam train besides that hedged wall – far off any railway line! – just to please the eye. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 20:25, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Great for me. Halavar (talk) 23:18, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination This is a ridiculous discussion about wrong smoke sources. I surely like that pic regardless of a FP tag. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

@Kreuzschnabel: Even if you don't talk about the smoke source, the picture still has other problems, such as the crop and oversaturation. Hope you can understand. I'm not insulting you or your photograph, it's just a comment and my opinion. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:14, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
