•  Info I nominated this picture already some years ago, but I withdrew because of some problems in editing. Now I made a new trial from the RAW files using another software, and I think, the result is better; created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Llez -- Llez (talk) 06:08, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Comparing them I see advantages and disadvantages for both of them. The contrast is handled more gently in this photo (in the other one more shadows are almost black); however because of that strong contrast the midtones show more ‘clarity’ in the other one. The other photo seems sharper, but that could mostly be due to more sharpening in post (the border between hills and sky looks a bit like cut with a saw in the other photo; maybe the sky was processed separately with a mask with hard border?), in this photo some details appear less sharp, but in return more natural and appealing. In the end it comes down to the fact that both are different photos taken with different settings and processed differently; the other one was focussed more on the background, the present one more on the foreground, the other one was processed with stronger contrast and sharpening, this one with more gentle settings, etc. --Aristeas (talk) 13:23, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Both photos are interesting. One difference that to me is in favor of this one is that it lacks really blurry areas, which when they're in the foreground can be disconcerting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Support The light in this picture is better than in the other one, where the rock is mostly dark in the shadow -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:12, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

  •  Done Thanks for the hint --Llez (talk) 17:14, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment I understand that the focus is on the roque on the right, on the roque Cinchado (the closest to the tip of the Teide), why did you choose to do so? I'm a bit confused because IMHO that should be the highlight of the image. Background information: the roque Cinchado is so popular that it was the main motif of the 1000 pesetas bank notes in Spain.

  •  Comment The reason is simple, BTW your comment is part of the answer: The Roque Cinchado is the most photographed object in this region, I also made photos of it (see e.g. here and we have already 3 FPs of the Roque Cinchado ([2], [3], [4], the last one by me) in which this rock is the main motif. I didn't want to nominate a fourth view, but to give an impression of the landscape around this rock, which is IMO also very impressive, especially the lesser known Roque Torrotito in the immediate vicinity of the well known Roque Cinchado. --Llez (talk) 09:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
