West Mitten Butte Monument Valley.
West Mitten Butte Monument Valley.

I'll admit I've got a soft spot for the Monument valley article, being one of the first articles I wrote in order to provide a home for Image:MonumentValley 640px.jpg from PDphoto. More recently, we got this image from German user Huebi, which is simply excellent. I'd have been happier if it had captured both butes, but then the composition may not have worked.

  • Nominate and support. - Solipsist 21:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment -- what are those black spots in the sky? Don't think it's my monitor being dirty since I can't see them on this white edit box ;) chowells 22:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support -- Very nice photo. If you are asking about the black sports in the upper right, they are very likely birds. Meniscus 01:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Love the colors.--ragesoss 05:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, great composition, catches atmosphere brilliantly. - Mgm|(talk) 10:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support The contrasting colours are a definite eye-catcher. My only criticism is that the land is on a slant.--Ali K 10:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Brilliant. Samsara contrib talk 11:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. A striking landscape! → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 19:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Great colors. Really does a good job of illustrating the area.--Lewk_of_Serthic 05:06, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - good but BEGGING for an unsharp mask on the land part only.--Deglr6328 06:32, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Nice colors, but the framing of the picture isn't great - it'd be a much superior photo if the thumb-thing-I-know-from-Oregon-trail was framed right in the center of the two branches of the tree. It also seems a little slanted. Zafiroblue05 07:51, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support nice image. chowells 15:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Support Nice. Next time, I will have to bring my sunglasses so I can stare at the scene longer. TomStar81 06:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support. Nice, but somewhat blurry. enochlau (talk) 15:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support this kitsch. - Darwinek 23:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Zafiroblue05. Plus: there are better illustrations of Monument Valley. The limits of the optical resolution become evident, even at this size. Colors are nice, though. Mikeo 14:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Flcelloguy (A note?) 15:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I agree that the framing could be better, but it's a good image nonetheless. Bziomek 18:05, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral Lovely scenery but poor framing --Fir0002 00:50, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Striking image.--Lordkinbote 07:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Beautiful Support
  • Support Great American West shot. Love the colors and the contrast--Looper5920 08:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
