Oppose: Underexposed or simply dark;
Done Fixed --The Photographer (talk) 03:31, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- The underexposure is fully fixed and the problem with backlight is at least a lot less problematic than before. The editing has created some noise issues, but nothing too bad. I won't oppose, but I still think the lighting conditions are just not optimal for showing the cacti, and the corrections unavoidably create a slightly artificial appearance of the photo, therefore:
Neutral. --Julian H. (talk/files) 14:47, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

- Info The illumination is natural, there is a high image range, to thereby be able to have an image without overexposure or subexposures. I disagree, however, I respect your point of view, thank you very much for your comment, always help to improve the standard. --The Photographer (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose Noisy, levels forced to turn the image lighter make the scene unreal, haloes around the clouds, cactus on first term hides highest mountains on the background, colours way too saturated --Juan Lacruz (talk) 23:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Weak Support. I like the scene in general, but I feel the framing is a little too high. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose The lighting was not the best for the shot, and the usage of the flash (see EXIF) gives and artificial effect (brigther areas there were you'd would expect rather darkness). There is also some noise on the cactus in the foreground and the sharpness of the vegetation behind the cactus is not convincing (probably due to agressive denoising, since the first version was better on this). Furthermore, I agree with Juan in both comments, the cactus hide the highest summit of the range of mountains in the background, which is disturbing and affects the compositon, and the green channel is oversaturated. I think that the idea overall is good but the result is not a FP to me, sorry. Poco a poco (talk) 11:18, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Per Poco and Juan, nice review, thanks --The Photographer (talk) 14:40, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
