Support -- IamMM (talk) 17:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC)- Support Beautiful. Not technically perfect, but wonderful atmosphere. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:53, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support --Michielverbeek (talk) 19:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Oppose The red dot and the strong CA are extremely disturbing IMO--Ermell (talk) 22:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)- Support but perhaps someone could just clone out the [lens flare, presumably] — Rhododendrites talk | 01:06, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Neutral, perhaps the CA can be fixed or cropped out. Daniel Case (talk) 04:53, 16 September 2021 (UTC)- Neutral after looking again and again at it. With the raw image file, it should be quite simple to fix the CA and that irritating red dot/lens flare, so I do not understand why the photographer did not do it. The duty of a photographer is not only to see great photos and to capture them correctly, but also to do adequate post-processing ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 06:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Neutral per Daniel and Aristeas -- Radomianin (talk) 09:20, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support --Yann (talk) 07:21, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support.--Vulp❯❯❯here! 15:40, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Ermell. -- Karelj (talk) 21:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 10:56, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose I feel like that capsule-shaped lens flare should be easy to remove, so not removing it makes this not one of the very best photos on the site, regardless of how I feel about anything else having to do with the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support now. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Comment @IamMM, Rhododendrites, and Ikan Kekek: I have created a copy without the read dot (for now it is here). Should I upload it over the existing image (because it is just a very small local change) or should I upload it under a new name and offer it as an alternative version here? --Aristeas (talk) 06:42, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I don't know what the protocol is, considering that you're not the photographer and presumably don't have permission to overwrite the photographer's edits. I hope someone clarifies. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- I know that we generally err on the side of not overwriting for anything that's been through an evaluation process, but IMO it's so small and so obvious that it should be removed that I think it would be best to overwrite. If you want to be extra cautious you could ping not just the uploader but the QI reviewer and Wiki Loves Earth 2019 organizers. :/ — Rhododendrites talk | 13:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your input; IMHO Rhododendrites’ assessment is convincing here, because it is really just a very small change. But I am sorry I don’t know which WLE organizers to ping; and I do not want to ping the QI reviewer (because, sorry, the reviewer did not do their job, they did neither recognize the CAs nor the red dot flare). @Jolanta Liva: Dear Jolanta Liva, after a discussion on the FPC page (here) I have taken the liberty to remove a small red dot (lens flare?) from your great photo and to upload it over your original version. We do this just because more than one reviewer required this. I hope that’s OK for your. --Aristeas (talk) 15:58, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you so much Aristeas. Unfortunately I have a hardware problem and I can't do much graphic work myself. Regarding how to upload a new file, my opinion is that according to the recommendation of COM: OVERWRITE such minor corrections should be overwritten on the previous file. --IamMM (talk) 05:46, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
