Oppose I can think of too many ways in which this could be a much better picture. First of all, shooting against the sky hasn't helped, only forced some foreground objects to be underexposed. On this bleak winter day, the colours ended up undersaturated. This would be much better shot either from a higher vantage point on a slightly sunnier day, or in summer, when there's foliage in the background to keep out the bright sky and allow foreground objects to be correctly exposed.

Oppose. per Samsara, couldn't put it better. Dengero (talk) 11:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Strong Oppose - sky is blown, very unsharp almost everywhere, vignetting, chromatic aberration on almost every edge. Please read the criteria, look at current FPs and make an honest judgement before nominating an image. You may also consider using PPR before nominating if you're not sure. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 11:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Comment Yes, there are problems that prevent a support vote. This is also a really interesting location. Would it be possible to reshoot under better conditions? There's an FP in here; keep trying. Durova^Charge! 17:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
