•  Comment Well, it certainly has wow factor... but I'm not wildly impressed by the resolution. Could you elaborate as to why it is not higher?--Peulle (talk) 09:36, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

  I basically export photos with a maximum of 10 MP from Lightroom. This is not a Commons question, but because I believe that camera sensors are overdone and quality should come before quantity. If it should make the others happy, I could upload it here with more pixels, but as I said, I don't really see any point in it. --Stepro (talk) 19:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Question Do you mean uploading the same photo with artificially added pixels or uploading a photo that is less downsampled? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

• The second of course, the first one would be stupid imho. --Stepro (talk) 00:20, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

• Agreed, but others have done that. I'd like to see the full-size version. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Info @Peulle, @Ikan Kekek: As I said I see no point in this pixel counting obsession, but have now uploaded the photo in full resolution. --Stepro (talk) 06:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support I'd say it was worth it and that your photo is even better at full size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

• +1 - thanks for the higher resolution. Really great nomination IMO. Cmao20 (talk) 20:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support That's what I wanted to see from the start. :) --Peulle (talk) 12:36, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Support 10 megapixels is OK for me, especially when the photo gets everything else right. Cmao20 (talk) 13:41, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

•  Question Is the reflection real? The water truly as still and clean? IMO this is what this spot usually must look like, or look at this series. --A.Savin 16:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

  I think so, indeed looking closer you see spots and plants, specially on the left (furthermore objects closer, like the guy or metal bars are not identical to the wall, which would be my expectation). The reflection is great but, apart from the size, it's kind of irritating (I know that I can be picky here, sorry) the lack of symmetry in the middle arch, you were a bit to far to the right. Therefore  Neutral Poco a poco (talk) 18:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

  Yes, I was a little bit right from the middle. Due to Corona, it was not possible to continue walking without prior registration. --Stepro (talk) 19:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

  Of course it's real. Luckily it was a very windless day, and although it was very light, the sun was filtered through some clouds and couldn't shine directly on the water. --Stepro (talk) 19:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
