Support I'd like to give it a try. Not so wow picture, but the lighting is a bit unusual (I don't understand how it turned this way...) and that gives it a mood I like. Unfortunately, we don't see that much ice any more because of the retreat of the glacier :( -- Benh 10:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I feel that it is a good image. I like the lighting and it has the standard "mountain WOW". Could you also please share the EXIF data with us? Freedom to share 19:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry, I have some trouble when saving jpegs with Gimp, it seems not to write EXIF by default. This picture was taken on a tripod, with a Canon EF-S 17-55mm at 24 mm, f/8 (they say it's where the lense has it's best resolution), 1/250 sec and iso 100. Benh 21:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The yellow tones seems a bit oversaturated, maybe you can lower them a little (look at the rocks! they are not grey, they are nearly green) --Simonizer 23:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you've raised that point, I find it a little strange too. I wasn't shocked at first. I guess you are talking about the rocks which are the closest to us, on the bottom part. Most of my landscape pictures have white balance on a warm side (personal tastes) and that may explain the green rocks. I also use Canon's landscape picture style which emphasize blues and greens. But I don't believe my edits turned a gray rock into an almost green one. Unfortunately, I don't remember the original colours of the rocks. I made a reedit from the original RAW file with settings as neutral as possible, and they are already "greener" than other rocks. But if you talk about the whole picture, well I agree I chose to have it a bit warm. Too warm ? Let's see what other people think... I may make a reedit if it's worth it.

Comment Why can't those rocks be greenish (mosses, lichens, serpentine)? The ones in the background are grey... Lycaon 17:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah thanks for the examples (I don't know any of them bust trust you). Benh 21:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No the arent grey. They lean also to yellow and even the clouds do too.--Simonizer 22:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support personally I prefer the warmer tone as well, and I hardly think rock color detracts from a great image --Pumpmeup 09:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
