•  Support When I arrived in this valley in Colorado, my goal was to see the Maroon Bells, but on another side of the valley in the Maroon Bells area was this other dramatic mountain, with striking color and interesting light shining through the clouds. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:53, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Indeed, very eyecatching scenery. --A.Savin 00:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. Lovely scene, but some unsharpness and CA. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:01, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. --as well. I just really wish this was sharper. Sixflashphoto (talk) 06:04, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sharpness so-so, cyan fringe at top of mountains, sky a bit noisy. Very nice place and light.--Jebulon (talk) 08:27, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 12:15, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
• Weak  Oppose per Jebulon and the weak supporters. This is also a rather small picture for a landscape FP - smaller pictures need to be even more outstanding for FP, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:53, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Good for you for trying to do something different in this location prone to cliché images (I can be smug about it because I didn't go there on my own 2010 trip to Aspen). But apart from the technical issues, I think the shadows of the clouds on the upper peaks unfortunately mar the image to the point that while it's a QI definitely, it's not an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 02:26, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Pleasant place and view of it, however I think the quality of this pictures is outdated for the nowadays FP standards... So that's more like a oppose than support. Pity as it would be a clear FP if not quality issues. -- Pofka (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
•  New version uploaded - Following on Jebulon's points above, I went ahead and removed the cyan and purple bits of fringe along the top, denoised the sky, and removed a couple black spots/birds in the sky. Perhaps not the best use of my time, since I'm not sure if it will be enough to change people's minds, but it would've been a shame for it not to pass due to something fixable. @Ikan Kekek, Daniel Case, and Pofka: I did not retroactively improve the size of the picture or overall sharpness :), but pinging nonetheless just in case. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  01:49, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks. Though since my main concerns are really the overall feel of the composition, and then the sharpness, which doesn't compensate for that in my eyes, the changes haven't inspired me to change my vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:48, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
