•  Oppose Too much contrast, disturbing halos on dark/clear interfaces and not too sharp on top. Lycaon 20:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose ack Lycaon although it is a very striking scene --Pumpmeup 03:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Jon Harald Søby 10:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sharpness, contrast. --Beyond silence 12:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice photograph. There are a lot of elements. First of all, it transports us to a hard to get place, in line with one of the main benefits of photography, with very good visual and photographic detail. The first plane is good enough as to give us terrain characteistics (for those interested in geology), good texture at the basic level; the mid plane gives us the intermediate texture range at another scale and the image as a whole is texture rich, with a good sense os scale and proportion, given by the person in the image. Furthermore, the image has a lot of depth, with a natural perspective where terrain and sky converge. Congratulations.--Tomascastelazo 15:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks, it's very kind of you to give such a complete reason for supporting. --Nattfodd 18:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, colours are too unrealistic. --MichaelMaggs 16:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Indeed, I used light tone mapping to increase the dramatic effect of the photo, because this corresponds to what I was feeling when I shot this scene (small and alone in a huge and beautiful desert). And what's realism anyway, when an image gets through so many modification between the moment photons hit the sensor and the one where it is uploaded to commons? --Nattfodd 18:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Love the colors. Could be on Mars (with a different sky). --startaq 00:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very nice picture, colors aren't a prob for me. Low Q, its a pity ! --Richard Bartz 14:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Beautiful composition, impressive colours and light. Vassil 20:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose As above, too much contrast. --Digon3 ^talk 21:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support beautiful photo -- Pudelek 23:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Info Here comes a version without tone mapping, with less aggressive contrast and better sharpness. --Nattfodd 14:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose It's not a bad picture, but as FP?? Mainly rocky rubble in the foreground and some sky in the background... ? Lycaon 18:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral I like the subject and composition (FP-worthy IMO), but it's not that sharp, and there is too much contrast. Dori - Talk 01:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

 result: 1 support, 1 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured (rule of the 5th day). Cecil 04:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
