Question Is the sky taken as-is or was there some processing involved? --SHB2000 (talk) 07:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sure the sky was as is. The clouds were incredible. With this sky in the morning, I quickly took my boat to find a good spot to capture it. Then it was completely unexpected that I met these wild goats on this island. But the sun is in front. You can see the subtle lighted side on the animal. Thus the picture was voluntarily underexposed to limit the highlights. In post process the shadows have been gently lifted to reveal more detail of the goat. The colors were as shown. Tripod was used. exposure time 1/15s -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:15, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I like the composition, but don't like the lack of any detail on the goat. Bottom left of the image is strange but not so important. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:02, 23 September 2023 (UTC)- Support --Yann (talk) 14:43, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Overall the image looks way to manipulated for me. I don't like the HDR-ish effect, it is way too saturated. The goat has a weird halo around the ears. Not every photo has to or can be 'improved' with photoshop. The focus seems to be on the tree behind the goat and not on the goat. --Ephramac (talk) 19:34, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Well, the goat's ears are hairy and they are lit from the back, so the halo this produces is perfectly natural. I wouldn't call that "weird". It happens to all hairy creatures when photographed in contre-jour light. I would however suggest that the chosen gallery would be 'Places/Other' for this photo, since the goat isn't really that well represented. It's more like a very nice combo photo where your first intention was to capture the sky and not the goat as a species.--Cart (talk) 21:32, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- Info Gallery changed from Bovidae (Bovids) to Places/Other, per Cart. Thanks for the suggestion -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:04, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose The sky was impressive for sure but it's difficult to translate this kind of feeling with a camera. In this case, the whole picture isn't appealing for me and the light on the goat is way too subtle to emphasize it. --Selbymay (talk) 11:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Just doesn't really come together as an image over-all for me. --El Grafo (talk) 08:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Is that dust in the lower left corner of the photo? Whatever it is, I detest it since it gives the photo a strange appearance. On the basis of that, I'll oppose. 20 upper 07:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
