Info Araucarias under the stars; Gaucho Plateau, Brazil. Credit to the author for uploading full-resolution. Image quality isn't perfect, but considering the size and that it's a night shot (low DOF) I think it's okay.

Support some technical issues but great wow! --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 08:19, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose I find the perspective distortion offputting. Charles (talk) 10:52, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Support - artistic wow - Atsme 📞 12:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Support Unlike Charles I think the perspective works quite well here, the trees literally and perspectivically pointing towards the stars. The quality could be better but whatever, it's great. -- KennyOMG (talk) 13:15, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
- I thought the same; they look like they're reaching for the heavens. I find it quite a "primal" image. -- Thennicke (talk) 14:01, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose bad quality, border especially --Mile (talk) 14:58, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Very interesting shot, but the quality is so shockingly poor when you zoom... -- Pofka (talk) 15:02, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Neutral Need verticals fix --The Photographer 16:04, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose As per Pofka and PetarM. Daphne Lantier 19:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose --Per Pofka, plus coma and some CAs. What a pity. Sting (talk) 21:18, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Oppose - Very interesting trees, but opposing per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

reluctant oppose It is a startling image. Taken with a quarter moon requiring exposure of f/2.8, 20s, ISO 5000. Having the landscape and stars exposed together is not trivial. I like the central portion, with the trees and stars, and the quality there is good enough considering the circumstances and the resulting image. But the overall composition doesn't work for me, with too much of the tree on the left, not enough river, and the long exposure seems to have make some of the foliage smudge in an unappealing way. I tried cropping a central part, and also some vertical perspective changes (mainly to get rid of the tree on the left), but the resulting squarish crop didn't really work. -- Colin (talk) 11:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
