Sunset in the Himalayas
  • Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural
  •  Info Nepal, national park Langtang. Created, uploaded and nominated by Sergey Pesterev -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support A bit oversaturated methinks but ok. It also seems to be leaning but without reference it's impossible to say and I'll give the benefit of the doubt that it is actually level. -- KennyOMG (talk) 17:05, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Yes, it's pretty and it's from the Himalayas, but there seems to be a lot of sunsets here lately despite what the guidelines suggest. Or maybe I should just go with the flow and nominate some myself since folks seems to enjoy them. --cart-Talk 17:13, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - A remarkable scene, but the size was dearly bought by too much noise. I you could fix that, I'd be glad to support this picture --PtrQs (talk) 17:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Noisy, and without an exposure time in the metadata, I can't say whether this was avoidable or not. Daniel Case (talk) 22:01, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I suggested a crop, to remove a little more of the black silhouette bottom triangle, which I don't think adds much. I would have liked to see more layering of mountains on the left: it is not very prominent. The composition, balancing left and right, is very good. The noise is a result of processing I'm sure, but not an issue here -- there's no pixel level detail in the scene anyway and a little noise helps avoid posterisation banding. -- Colin (talk) 12:24, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - I haven't really been able to make up my mind on this one. Technical quality is acceptable for me... the D800 is just naturally a noisier camera than some others due to the huge number of pixels. At any reasonable viewing size, the noise isn't detrimental. Ultimately, while it's not the most innovative or compelling image I've ever seen, its simple beauty and serenity sway me to support. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
