•  Info A wonderful example of folded rock. This arose during the mountain formation of the Alps, some 40 million years ago. Such folds are created by large horizontal pressure in this case from Africa.

•  Support Good picture when accompanied with explanation of the geological phenomenon. Cmao20 (talk) 16:18, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Support At first, I didn't realize the scale of it! --Cart (talk) 16:23, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Question What tipped you off to the scale? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:05, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

• For me it was first the water below. For a "by the water" person like me, running water usually gives me a sense of how large something is. Then I noticed the tree up left, looks like a young larch, and last the tufts of dandelion leaves in the crevices around it. --Cart (talk) 20:44, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

• Rocks tend to be fractal and thus give little sense of scale. For this reason, instructive shots of rocks (in academic papers, for instance) tend to include a scale object or a scale. See Category:Rocks with objects for scale and Template talk:NoCoins#Coins are a good maesurement for scale. HLHJ (talk) 20:38, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Fascinating. I thought this was a macro before I clicked on the image. Seven Pandas (talk) 23:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose These rocks absolutely leave me without emotion. And I don't understand the composition with the river at the corner -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:54, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Really useful for an encyclopedia, so an excellent VI and a QI, but though it's interesting from an informational standpoint, the composition leaves me cold like Basile. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:47, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Folds are one of the most common textures of rocks, and this is definitely not the clearest example of a fold. The composition is not pleasing. —kallerna (talk) 05:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Kallerna --Fischer.H (talk) 08:57, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others. Not bad and certainly useful but nothing special. --Kreuzschnabel 11:38, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment The Wow factor for me are the unique circular folds of the figure. Completely detached from the more or less horizontal folds in this steep rock wall. I had never seen it so beautiful before. So it is not that normal. Beautiful architecture of mother earth.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment No doubt there are impressive rock folds, and this might well be one of them. It’s just not a very impressive photograph of it IMHO. Just my opinion :) --Kreuzschnabel 07:13, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose per Kreuz. Also unsharp up top. Daniel Case (talk) 02:58, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice to look at and an interesting geology picture, but not special for FP in my view. --Domob (talk) 16:44, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose In addition to what others have written above, it's not even a very useful or well-done geological photograph. As you can see from Cart's comment above, the scale of a geological photograph can be very difficult to estimate. Because of that, photos in geologic papers and textbooks always include some kind of scale. It doesn't even need to be exact, but it needs to be easy to recognize and interpret – which is why you'll routinely find geologist's hammers, coins, lens caps or geologists in those pictures. --El Grafo (talk) 12:34, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
