•  Question Was the image upscaled, or is it a combination of serveral photos. Also, was some noise removed in this version? There seems to be an extreme lack of detail. --Digon3 ^talk 13:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • All three of those. It's an HDR image from three exposures, and it has been upscaled. There also was some noise removal (but only in the sky). --Nattfodd 13:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose because of the lack of details. Try downsampling the original photo (upsampling is never []a good idea IMO) to try and sharpen it. The lack of sharpness may also be due to the HDR proccess, did you use a tripod? --Digon3 ^talk 14:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutralimpressive picture. Though i have to say i dont understand why you upscaled it. --AngMoKio 15:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• •  Comment There is value, this is a good shot of Mt Duolbagorni, one of the most recognizable mountains of the area, and of the valley in general. It's not because it's not a photo of bugs copulating that it hasn't got any value :) --Nattfodd 11:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed version

•  Comment I have uploaded the original file (no down or upscaling) without any noise reduction. There was no manipulation besides HDR generation, obviously, and minor colour tweaking through curves. --Nattfodd 16:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Nattfodd 16:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Support - Very beautiful picture and nice atmosphere - Alvesgaspar 16:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Neutral I like it, but It's blurred. - Keta 16:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I can't see any blur. Please be more specific. --Nattfodd 16:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Its not blurred, but it still lacks detail. Try downsampling the original. --Digon3 ^talk 16:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
      • In the foreground. If it's not blurred, then it's very unsharp. - Keta 16:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Vassil 18:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very unsharp. Not FP. Lycaon 20:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I have to first apologise to you, Nattfodd, for breaking my promise. I had thought that the blur was due to the upscaling, but now I see that even the original is not sharp. Maybe you could try using a tripod and shooting at a higher f number (just a suggestion, but you are probably better at this than I am :-) ). I like the image, but I am forced to oppose it. With my most sincere apologies, Freedom to share 22:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC).
  • No big deal. I didn't use a tripod because I hadn't taken it with me (this is shot from the top of a small peak). And I couldn't get a much smaller aperture because the wind was blowing very strongly (I had some trouble standing up!) and so the clouds were moving really, really fast, which meant I needed fast shutter speed for the bracketing... I'm sure I could have done better, but I don't know how :) --Nattfodd 11:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose As per Lycaon. João Felipe C.S 22:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice photo, acceptable detail. --Beyond silence 09:25, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
•  Support nice photo, good composition... - Noumenon _talk 16:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too unsharp. Try downsampling. --Digon3 ^talk 17:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Nice photo, perfect atmosphere. --Karelj 18:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
