Info The generating house for the Guthega Power Station, in the Snowy Mountains, NSW, Australia. This is Australia's highest-altitude power station.- Info created, uploaded, nominated by Thennicke -- Thennicke (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Support -- Thennicke (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2016 (UTC)- Mild Support - The sky is a little noisy at full resolution, and the way the drum structure (sorry I don't know the technical name for it) sticks up on the upper right somewhat bugs me, but in all other ways, it's a very good composition and photograph. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Comment Thanks Ikan. I only applied chroma denoising to this image, to avoid information loss; hence the sky. I can apply a little luma denoising if need be and that would fix the sky. -- Thennicke (talk) 22:47, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'd be curious to see what that looks like, but if you think the loss of information would be worse on balance than the decrease in noise, I'd respect that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Fixed @Ikan Kekek: Luma NR added and exposure increased -- Thennicke (talk) 00:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm not sure I see any difference on my monitor between the current version and the "revert" version. If there's a difference, it's apparently tiny. Anyway, I do think this picture is good enough to feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Oppose Looks entirely unnatural to me, clouds too dark-gray for a sunny day, colours leaning to the green side and looking a bit too much desaturated. Composition not appealing to me, the antenna on the top cut off as well as the tree to the left and the basin in the foreground. Excellent level of detail though, but looks overprocessed (maybe tonemapped). --Kreuzschnabel 21:30, 27 March 2016 (UTC)- Oppose as per Kreuzschnabel: the sky is too saturated, while the rest of the image is too desaturated. It looks a bit like HDR processing gone wrong. -- Rftblr (talk) 22:13, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose This looks like the definition of "snapshot". I can't point to anything about this picture that makes it special except for the high level of sharpness. The lighting is very harsh. This in addition to problems already mentioned. -- Ram-Man 23:50, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per others. INeverCry 00:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
