•  Support now that's a difficult one - and I predict lots of opposition here. The image is as clearly overprocessed and noisy as its colors are unnatural. But...BUT... what a visual impact! Let the battle begin... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 12:39, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

• (Edit conflict)I wouldn't go as far as to say that the colors are unnatural (the sky is perfectly fine), I've seen some spectacular mountain ranges, but some noice reduction would nevertheless be much appreciated. It looks like the opening scene of The Last of the Mohicans. :) --cart-Talk 12:55, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment You can see the amount of processing here. I am reminded of my own File:Glamaig from Rubha nam Brathairean, Isle of Skye (crop).jpg which also used dehaze and other adjustments (an unprocessed version is here for comparison, and the failed FPC here). I attempted to keep the colours realistic and saturation minimal, whereas this one is less realistic I think. I don't mind the noise at all, though the dark foreground isn't ideal. There are some stitching errors. -- Colin (talk) 12:49, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment Please note that we already have an FP from a landscape in Nepal, which depicts almost the same scene as this one.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 14:37, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Yes, thank you for finding the file that I was thinking of. It's not only a similar scene, it's also less noisy and has colors I like better. If this photo could be denoised in a major way and would look better because of that, I might reconsider my vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:57, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done Stitching errors have been corrected. -- Sergey Pesterev (talk) 14:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose plus: the panoramic view pleases the eye. minus: maybe the time of day was not ideal for this shot; a point of time somewhat earlier would have provided a wee bit more light to play with. Extreme overprocessing in my opinion; oversaturation, strong noise in the dark areas, colors of the sky and the blue mountains don't really match; the mountain in black in the foreground is too prominent.--AWeith (talk) 22:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 06:29, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Neutral Would be perfect if the noise was not there. -- -donald- (talk) 11:11, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment So beautiful pity quality! --Laitche (talk) 15:57, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
