•  Info created, uploaded and nominated by Ximonic --Ximonic (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Info Autumn at Raftsundet, Lofoten archipelago, Nordland, Norway. Landscapes behind the corner...
•  Support --Ximonic (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Nice! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:56, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- aghith 17:12, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Excellent view, great colors. Azeri (talk) 21:26, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 02:49, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose poor crop at right --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 09:48, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment This is the reason why I already suggested 3 different crops. The widest version I can make is the original one (Alternative 2 in this case). From that one, anyone can suggest and tell about better crops that one has in mind. --Ximonic (talk) 15:56, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose Overexposed and to the left is a lack of sharpness.--Snaevar (talk) 21:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Done I did some little changes. Hope they helped somewhat. --Ximonic (talk) 15:34, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Neutral for now. Nice colors and composition (the best of the three). But still a bit too bright in my opinion. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:19, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Question Should I reduce the overall brightness in the image or just some parts? I think, the light should not be reduced too much but maybe just a little(?) --Ximonic (talk) 20:03, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• I don't know, what I find too bright is the colorfull right part. Maybe an overall brightness reduction will do. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Support now, as I realize you already did it. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:55, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

• You're welcome :) --Ximonic (talk) 21:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Support --Böhringer (talk) 21:32, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Question Is this image a result of HDR-processing? I am asking because there is a bright band in the sky following the mountain contour. -- KlausFoehl (talk) 09:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Done Good point. I've thought about it but you „picked the cat up on the table” (as we used to say here in Finland :D ). I carefully tried to darken the band, I hope it doesn't look so aggresssive now. The panorama stitch consists of ordinary single shots so It hasn't met any true HDR processing. --Ximonic (talk) 14:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

• Well, the sky may get brighter towards the horizon, there may be haze over the hills, but this bright band from post processing looks/looked unnatural to me.--KlausFoehl (talk) 09:25, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Support --Stryn (talk) 07:11, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose oversaturated and low quality. All is not natural --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too cluttered (tree at left, herbiage obscuring reflections of mountains in centre). Also some quality issues as above. --Avenue (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose--shizhao (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Alternative 1

•  Info Another crop --Ximonic (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Weak support --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 09:48, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose--shizhao (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Alternative 2

•  Info Yet another crop --Ximonic (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 02:49, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Tomer T (talk) 07:51, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support -- The road on the right adds a special value to this picture, like a 'nature and mankind coexistence'. Azeri (talk) 13:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- I deslike the extreme panoramas and this one is no exception. The road also seems a foreign element in this bucolic scene. Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support I like the man-made+natural gradient and that the road doesn't demand too much attention. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 04:27, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support --Murdockcrc (talk) 15:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Usually the road leads into the center as a way of drawing the viewer's eyes, so I'm not sure why I like this composition, but I do. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 11:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
  •  Comment Yup, the composition is a bit audacious. Yet in this case the main priority, why I took it like this, is the information value. This picture tells all that's essential of the place. The crops are more like just aesthetic. --Ximonic (talk) 13:46, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support This one is the best. I dont know really why, because the road isnt leading into the picture. But maybe because the road adds a sense of scale to the picture. --Simonizer (talk) 09:49, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Strong support The road "into" the landscape is cliché—albeit a very nice kind of cliché. But here, the road was leading you into the landscape, and now real life hits, and hits you hard, and you're swept away from it. This version, of the ones available here, is by far the best and actually tells a story. Brilliant photography, great job. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 18:12, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support Interesting composition overcomes some defects in the details. --Avenue (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
•  Support--shizhao (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
