Mountain ranges east of Reutte/Tyrol in summer's early morning light.
  • Uoaei1, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there were reasons to cut the lower 600px of the original stitch. Below the frame you see, the shadows drop and the contrast vanishes. So instead of graded silhouettes like in the peaks you only see areas with few contours. As this happens especially on the left side and there the edge of the effect looks rather sharp, I'd call it unbalanced. So I decided to crop it like this. --PtrQs (talk) 22:25, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project."
FPs are not just for the encyclopedia, they are also for all the other WikiProjects (take a look at the list at the bottom of the main page) plus those we don't even know about yet, so ALL sorts of really good photos are welcome. --Cart (talk) 20:03, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My rating is my personal opinion. So don't proselytize me. Pan Tau (talk) 21:09, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then. Thanks for teaching me a new English word: "proselytize". I didn't know that one. :) --Cart (talk) 21:32, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Paolobon140, I've read that you are satisfied by 20x30 cm handouts. But in this format every picture of a full mountain range would present only some millimeters of rock and a real lot of sky above. So maybe you could spend some time and look up the definition of 'panorama'? --PtrQs (talk) 16:21, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, well, assuming that an Italian speaker like me must know what "panorama" means (and most probably a greek speaker even more) I perfectly understand that you might love this kind of format. Personally I do not appreciate this format unless is used as a web banner or printed and hanged on a wall. But still, even on a web banner or sticked on a wall i do not appreciate this photograph, I find it too panoramic, too large and not enough high. I gave my explanation which seems to be similar to others who wrote "Doesn't really work for me structurally" (i must imagine its more or less what i worte too). Techincally it is a well done work but still i dont feel to vote it as a Featured picture for the reasons i said above. I appreciate a lot the smothness of tones and the different tones. But i also find the mountain on the right too visible and dark, catching much of my attention, while in a panoramic picture i expect to let my eye go around without being captured by a single detail.Paolobon140 (talk) 16:51, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
