  • Support the contrast, clarity, and color is good, and the subject is well enough situated to make it feature picture worthy. Rudy Breteler (talk) 21:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment This doesn't appear to be a double arch. Can you explain? Is it the view back down the trail coming through the first arch, or how does it work? Clegs (talk) 22:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Response copied off my talk page: "If you look closely, under the first large arch, is a small hole, and you can see another arch. This resembles a double arch. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)" Thanks for clearing this up! Clegs (talk) 23:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The view through the whole that I think is supposed to double of the arch looks very flat and possibly artifacted, and the shadow under the main arch has some out-of-place pink noise. Otherwise, I love this image, and would support if these issues can be fixed or if they can be explained. - Enuja (talk) 03:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose It's a nice scene but the rocks and the shrub in the lower LHS have a lost a lot of texture from what I suspect was a noise reduction filter. Whether or not this is the case these areas have an unpleasant plasticky texture. --Fir0002 10:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
