  •  Support I like these kind of black-and-white photographs. It's a touch of Ansel Adams. --XRay 💬 07:58, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose When I First Looked at this, I couldn't even make out what it is. In Ansel Adams photographs, you can immediately make out what it is, and understand the photo. This is just too bright. --Lectrician2 (talk) 03:06, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, but having black & white and mountains does not equal "Ansel Adams", who many consider the greatest landscape photographer (example photos). This is not a great photo. The mountains? Meh, they look like many snow capped pointy mountains. There isn't a dominant peak to catch my eye. I'm having a hard job distinguishing the mountains from the clouds, because the lack of blue sky colour means I can't tell what is sky and what is rock or shadowed snow. The foreground? Come on. A great landscape photo has a great foreground. This has lots and lots of scree and some shrubs. The shrubs, unlike the mighty conifers Adams captured, are reduced to being random splodges in b&w. There's a path on the very bottom right, but this isn't made into a feature. There's just too much of the frame filled with boring material, and the bit in the middle isn't great either. If you zoom into the mountains, there was certainly scope to capture something interesting with textures of snow and rock, but that's not this photo. One doesn't make a classic image just by converting to b&w and darkening blue. -- Colin (talk) 12:17, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Too not enough contrast. I agree with Colin.Je-str (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Colin. --Fischer.H (talk) 16:56, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  On hold I’m not sure yet what to make of this one. I have to agree with each one of the issues Colin mentioned, and the clouds near the top frame even have serious quality issues, yet the entire image is fascinating in a way – maybe just because the sky melts into the horizon. Then, it’s too unclear, too crowded, too many details – that’s what moves it a bit off Adams’ masterpieces which are crisp clear about their main point. I’ll wait for a few more days if it dawns upon me. Btw, did you notice the second photographer in the lower right corner? --Kreuzschnabel 07:25, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
