•  Comment Looks like his polarizer filter has gone rogue. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:46, 1 June 2017 (UTC) 
  • Frank I've read that the sky appears darker at high altitude (this is 2400m / 7900ft), so the effect isn't necessarily an over-strong polarizer filter . -- Colin (talk) 18:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - This photo is just a bit grainy, and the composition might be improved by removing some of the sky, but since as you say this has been widely published as is, it's best to feature it without edits. And it is quite a striking image. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:40, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not an FP for me; all that grain makes me think this is not "one of the finest pictures on Commons".--Peulle (talk) 08:19, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Peulle, please consider that this is a 22Mp image. The noise isn't nearly so apparent at 8MP. Also the sky is a continuous tone, and a little grain there helps avoid posterisation in our 8-bit JPGs. While most Commons FPC regulars would have masked the sky to avoid increasing noise when sharpening the image, elsewhere people seem to not be so bothered what the image looks like if magnified 1.5 metres wide and viewed from 50cm (100% view). While we are used to seeing less noisy images pass FPC, I'm not convinced such pixel-level "defects" are so important any more with the future being high-DPI displays on desktop, tablet and phone, and the noise here being completely invisible if printed 300DPI. -- Colin (talk) 08:32, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Considered. My opinion remains.--Peulle (talk) 08:49, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
