•  Oppose - Very sorry, but this hazy light isn't speaking to me. I like the scene, though, and I'd like to see photos of it in slightly brighter light or (depending on which direction we're looking in) sunrise or sunset. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:03, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

  @Ikan Kekek: It's your personal opinion, I respect it --Reda benkhadra (talk) 21:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment The file needs to be renamed. "The lost land" is not and adequate description for an FP since it is metaphoric and can be used as a description for many places. Poetry is fine, just not here, a file must be named so that it is easy to find using search engines. cart-Talk 20:55, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

  @W.carter:  Done --Reda benkhadra (talk) 21:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose The sort of picture that you take, you process, you upload all the while thinking "I need to go back on a clearer day". Daniel Case (talk) 23:35, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment Also maybe f/10 instead of f/7.1 would be a better choice to put more the background in focus. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 04:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

  @Christian Ferrer: On this kind of photo where everything is far away, one needn't really stop down to get everything in focus. Better to shoot at the lens' sweet spot. At 85mm, f/7.1 and on a Canon 550D body, hyperfocal distance is 53,4m. Gives one some margin, and from what I can "guess", nothing looks closer than 26,7m here (if hyperfocal = D, everything from D/2 to infinite is in focus). - Benh (talk) 20:04, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

  For some reason, I just had a "reminiscence" of the fact that Jeffrey's EXIF viewer computes the hyperfocal distance : [1]. - Benh (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

  Agreed, the unsharpness is due to some combination of haze, lens quality, and post-processing. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
