Original

•  Info created by Acarpentier - uploaded by Acarpentier - nominated by Acarpentier -- Acarpentier 00:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support -- Acarpentier 00:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral Nice shot, but I don't like the vignetting effect. →Diti the penguin — 10:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral But will change to support if you could clone out the white spots. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 12:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• I think that you are seeing snow there - appropriate for the image - Peripitus (talk) 12:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is snow. But since there are only a couple of small dots present, they are not functional in this picture and rather annoying. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Support I like the original, but not the vingetting effect of the alternative. JalalV (talk) 13:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  InfoI don't know who uploaded this alternative but it's really not realistic. I did not modify the saturation of the original, the sky was as I see on my computer screen (macbook pro). And I'm not going to remove the snow here, I want to keep the picture real. --Acarpentier 17:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Vignetting is a bit too visible to me. Vignetting is not "real", it's due to the lens and I think postprocessing that makes the image look closer to reality would not make the image less real. /Daniel78 (talk) 17:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Ok, I've read about it and understand now. I'll try to fix it. --Acarpentier 21:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --norro 23:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose: white spots distracting. Jonathunder (talk) 02:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Could you crop the picture? —kallerna™ 19:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

result: 3 support, 2 oppose, 2 neutral => not featured. JalalV (talk) 10:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Alternate

•  Oppose Not realistic. I did not do any vignetting effect on the original. --Acarpentier 17:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose The vignetting seem to be reversed instead of removed. /Daniel78 (talk) 17:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose The snowboarder is good, but the background is dull-- nothing but blue. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 14:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

result: 0 support, 3 oppose, 0 neutral => not featured. JalalV (talk) 10:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Alternate 2

•  Info I've corrected the vignette from the RAW file into Camera Raw. --Acarpentier 22:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Acarpentier 22:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose  Comment The vignette is not nearly as big a concern for me as the color. I actually find the vignette in the original helps focus on the snowboarder. The color of both alternatives, however, is painful to my eyes. If you really want to get rid of the vignette, is it possible to replace the background with a more natural blue?

•  Support This version seems good. →Diti the penguin — 22:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Support very cool! :) --J.smith (talk) 15:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not enough wow, IMHO. Barabas (talk) 00:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

result: 5 support, 1 oppose, 0 neutral => featured. JalalV (talk) 10:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose It's very dynamic, but the monotonous background ruins it for me. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 14:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I preferred the colour pallet of the first version (but without the vignetting). Lycaon (talk) 18:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
