•  Info Vineyards in Napa Valley. created by Mila Zinkova - nominated by Anon

 thank you for nomination --Mbz1 (talk) 09:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Is it really appropriate for you to withdraw the nomination when you are not the nominator? I am aware that you created the picture, but still... --Aqwis (talk) 11:00, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Where were you when we discussed this? I do agree that author withdraw is nonsense, and really could have used your support in the discussion. You should check out FPC/talk more often. -- JovanCormac 13:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry I believed that the rule was voted for and added to the gudilens. I guess I am mistaking. Please acept my apology, everybody. Go ahead with the votes. One more humiliation one less, who cares --Mbz1 (talk) 13:53, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

You are quite right, it was, and you won't see me saying otherwise. What I am saying is that this rule shouldn't have passed in the first place (which I already argued for during the voting process) and that I could have used Aqwis' support for my position then, rather than now when it's all over. -- JovanCormac 15:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

It is funny. I thought that "Where were you when we discussed this? " was addressed to me :). So, I thought to myself that some users are unhappy, when I nominate my images, others are unhappy, when I withdraw nominations of my images :) I kind of got lost in translation :)--Mbz1 (talk) 17:27, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't read FPC talk very often anymore. --Aqwis (talk) 20:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Nope, Aqwis, "sorry" is not good enough anymore. Now you should support the image.  :) Otherwise ... I do not know what I will do... Maybe misspell your user name like I did last time :)--Mbz1 (talk) 21:19, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Fantastic colour. Very nice -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 14:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, amazing. --Vprisivko (talk) 17:04, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Farbharmonie --Michael Gäbler (talk) 20:53, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose too much contrast. To much details are lost in the black/dark parts of the picture --Simonizer (talk) 06:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Weak Oppose As I said over at Wikipedia, it would be nice to have a shot without a line of power pylons ruining the view. --Silversmith Hewwo 07:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose agree with Simonizer -> another case of excessive Photoshop use. Furthermore i think there is not enough space above the hills. --AngMoKio (talk) 08:42, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Overprocessed —kallerna™ 11:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
• {{Support}} See below. --Aqwis (talk) 13:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oversaturated – An hour or two of editing (or damage repair?) might make it work. --Ernie (talk) 15:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
• Mila, I sincerely believe you are doing more harm than good by the extensive postprocessing (although the support votes seem to send a different message...). The colors are indeed fantastic, but rather as in fantasy ;-). --Dschwen (talk) 17:21, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Daniel, please take a look at the image my husband took with his point-and-shot Nikon File:Napa valley vineyard 10.JPG. I am sure,some users would say it is "Oversaturated", except... the image is the original one not post-processed at all :) --Mbz1 (talk) 16:04, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Mmmh, ok. I'm not quite sure I trust the color reproduction of a coolpix, but I trus you if you say the colors really were this vivis. The grass looks a bit iffy and there is a red blot somewhere in the right half of the frame. But it has been a while since I saw grapevines in fall. --Dschwen (talk) 01:20, 15 November 2009 (UTC)s

•  Support natural colors -- Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral The scene is magnificent, but the crop is too tight (bottom and top). As for the colors, they are on the limit of being too saturated, but it would still probably get my support if it wasn't of the crop --S23678 (talk) 23:35, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose crop. Alternative looks much better. --Dschwen (talk) 14:33, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

And how that one File:Napa Valley vineyards 8.jpg looks to you, Daniel :) --Mbz1 (talk) 15:11, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose --High Contrast (talk) 11:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternative 1

•  Support--Mbz1 (talk) 01:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment. The colours are better, and in general I prefer this version, but it still has power pylons in the skyline. Could they be cloned out, or would people object to that much alteration of reality? --Silversmith Hewwo 04:03, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Magnifique --S23678 (talk) 05:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Great! Jacopo Werther (talk) 08:13, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support The image made a great progress since the first version uploaded. Colours look more natural now and composition of the alternative 1 is much better than the original nomination. --Ikiwaner (talk) 10:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Strong support per Ikiwaner, excellent -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 11:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, very good. --Aqwis (talk) 12:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Oversaturated – The colors still don't work for me. Distortions. Yes, I work on a calibrated screen. --Ernie (talk) 12:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, very good. --87.90.98.111 17:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support We say: "Goldener Oktober" - this is it. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 00:11, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Thank you! ;-) --Simonizer (talk) 13:03, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
•  Support much better...i really don't know why you didn't nominate this in the first place --AngMoKio (talk) 08:47, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Of course you do not know because ... I have never nominated the virst image myself :)--Mbz1 (talk) 15:11, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Overprocessed —kallerna™ 15:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
