  •  Info Golden Gate Canyon In Yellowstone National Park, with a storm developing over Mammoth Hot Springs in the distance, all by Acroterion -- Acroterion (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support - Breathtaking. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:18, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Great picture compositionally but unfortunately the noise reduction and the saturation of the sky both seem to be far overdone. Maybe fixable. --Code (talk) 05:47, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The composition with the motif is great but the overall technical quality seems to be questionable. The saturated sky looks a bit unnatural considering the lightning of the cliff on the left side. It is also evident that there is chromatic aberration on some trees, while the mountain on the right leaves me with the impression that it might have been painted. I think most of these issues can be fixed.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 08:30, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment A version taken straight from the RAW file can be seen here File:Golden Gate YNP2.jpg, with only exposure and contrast adjusted, white-balanced for daylight but no saturation or vibrance adjustments. NR is less and there is a touch less saturation that reflects the native RAW image (both saturation and vibrance are at 0): the image is a few years old and camera and lens are retired due to noise and a tendency to CA. For color, note that this is at 2200m altitude so there is little or no haze, and that Yellowstone and Golden Gate Canyon are so named for a reason, the rhyolite is startlingly yellow in places.

  • The other version has still to much noise reduction applied. I suppose you upload a version without any noise reduction at all. I don't think noise reduction is really necessary in this case. --Code (talk) 04:29, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
