The Qafa e Valbonës, or Valbona pass in Albania connects the town of Theth, located at Theth National Park in a valley formed by the Shalë river with the town of Valbonë in Valbonë Valley National Park. This photograph was taken in October 2013 on the Valbona side at about 2/3 of the ascent to the top of the pass. It shows the mountains surrounding Maja Grykat e Hapëta, which is one of the highest mountains of all of Albania.

•  Oppose Yes, it is too unsharp, and maybe a little bit noisy. But as it is your first nomination in FP, I think you deserve more feedback: my opinion is that except unsharpness, this picture is very good. The colors are nicely contrasted, the white balance is good. The composition works very well with the mountains, the valley, and the transversal foreground. The landscape is appealing and eye catching. And we have not so many good pictures from Albania. Well, don't discourage, and we wait for your next nominations !--Jebulon (talk) 10:14, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Info The photograph is shot with a modern full-frame DSLR at ISO 200 (hence I also do not understand why there should be noise) and a good lens (and appropriate shutter speed) at f/11. The detail is in my opinion definitely there. In Ivar's sharpened version this is much easier to see, so thank you Ivar! --Tobias (talk) 11:37, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
