•  Oppose Very pretty, but it's a typical sunset shot. The glare makes it hard to see what's going on, and the foreground is underexposed. But it's a road in the hills heading toward the setting sun. Very Chaplin-esque, but nothing extremely special for FA. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 18:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Composition is very good but the lighting conditions kill it for me. --Murdockcrc (talk) 20:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Maybe you'd prefer this one.. -- pro2 22:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

The sky is definitively improved, but you still have the problem that the landscape is underexposed. The main focus of your picture is the blown out sun, that's where the eyes immediately goes to (at least mine). So yes, it's an improvement, but still not FP IMO. But don't take what I say at face value, put it up as an alternative if you want and let people vote. --Murdockcrc (talk) 13:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose - too much of an HDR look. I really like the clouds and crepuscular rays though, and I would prefer the first version but with the sun blown out (currently it's flat at ~230 RGB which looks really unnatural). Don't worry about blown highlights, it would be weird if the sun were not blown out for all but the last 30 minutes of sunset. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral Hmm, I kind of like the HDR look here, though I'm not familiar with how HDR images are approached at FPC. Very pretty, much easier on the eyes than the original. Someone above said the sun attracts the eyes, but the opposite happens to me: it's so glaring on the computer screen, I can't help but stare at the foreground. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if there's anything valuable about the image, but I think it's much better in terms of foreground exposure and glare/haze removal. I'd be proud to have taken a photo like that. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 07:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

• Well, I find that the lighting and composition of this image in general are very nice, so I guess I'll  Support some version of this. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:09, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
